For the next few days, the daily reports will be my personal
account, as I have split off from the group for a short period of
time.
The group decided to change the route and after Niagara Falls,
follow the Erie Canal through Rochester, and travel on the south
side of Lake Ontario. I preferred to stay in Canada and visit
Toronto, but because that route is longer, I decided to pass on
Niagara Falls, and head north.
So we split up at Woodstock, Ontario, and if everything goes as
planned, we should meet up again at Thousand Islands, Ontario in a
few days. Hopefully, they will keep a record of their travels for
uploading.
Partly because of the tailwinds, and partly because I was traveling
alone today, I managed one hundred and ten miles today, and I am two
blocks from the city line of Toronto. Twice it started to rain, but
only long enough for me to put on my rain gear.
The first half of the day was through more of the same tidy farm
country, and then I entered the outskirts of Hamilton. There was a
rapid increase of in traffic, so I headed for the lakeshore, and
found a bike route that took me through Burlington, Oakville and
Mississauga.
Tomorrow I will pass through downtown Toronto and continue around
the lake. After today, I have pedaled 2,916 miles and have climbed
over 108,300 feet.
I spoke to Ken, and the rest of the group are on schedule and made
it to Mount Hope.
