Low cloud and light rain set the mood for the day. Add in more rough roads, a steady to strong easterley headwind, and very uninspiring scenery, and this was not a day to remember. For the first time on the trip, these seemed like a very long 7 hours in the saddle. One of the things I like about cycling is just letting my mind wander – but today I had completely run out of things to think about. And it was slow, because of the headwind. Our slowest 100 miles yet at 6:55.

Breakfast had been good, overlooking the tiny ferry dock and watching very large container boats come past. Then we boarded the ferry and left the USA behind.

 Two minutes, and a very friendly border post later, and we were in Canada. Though it looked remarkably similar – but with added rain. 

It will be a short blog today – because the only other highlight was a sewage truck. Don’t you love the Canadian sense of humour!

  
Eating in the local Wimpy tonight. Actually, not bad at all. Ended up dismantling a bench to retrieve a $20 bill – but the waitress took it all in her stride! One more long day tomorrow when we should at least have Lake Erie to look at for some of the day, and then a much needed day off the bike at Niagara Falls.
