A difficult ride from Montreal trying to find roads we were allowed to cycle along! Followed the Ottawa River to Ottawa and a great reception from Pete and Michele – thanks guys for a wonderful stay – difficult for us to leave you and get on those bikes again! Especially thanks for the Birthday dessert, and wonderful to meet up with Catherine, Seb and Helga – lots of memories from our Dubai days!
Yet another day of tail winds. It looked like we were off to Montreal but on day two, and the day we were hoping to arrive there, Dave had a flat.
So there we are soaking wet, between towns, and a flat to fix. A cyclist, Peter form Sydney, Down Under, was waiting in the entrance of a building waiting to see if he could get a room for the night, came out to say hello. He had had enough of the rain and wind for the day. We may see him in the future on Van Island. He and I chatted while poor Dave fixed the flat. When Dave was done and everything was packed back on the bike, I looked at his tire and asked if it should look like that. He looked again and we could see the tire separating away from the wall. Now we needed a whole new tire, not just a tube.

The nude from PEI (but it was too cold to get two nudes!!)
Yes, the weather was hot, but riding against the wind when it is hot seemed harder than when it was raining. Hot, sweaty, and very unlady like!!
