If my last two reports are a bit confusing I just realized that for
some reason Yahoo posted them out of order. Oh well!

Because I was a bit ahead of the group, I had decided that if it was
raining again today, I would take a lay over day. But when I awoke
it had stopped, and the clouds looked lighter. The weather station
said there could be showers in the morning, but it would clear as
the day progressed. So off I went.

Twenty miles from Oshawa I felt a drip; twenty-two miles another
one. And I am sure you can guess the rest. By Bomanville, I dawned
my rain gear, and the volume of water steadily increased all day.
Cycling two days in the rain begins to take a toll. I was only able
to complete seventy-three miles; two many stops to clean my glasses
and wring out just about everything. Of course it did make that
Irish Pup in Coldborne seem that much more inviting for lunch.

Partly because I thought it was not going to rain today, and partly
because Country Road # 2 runs through the main street of a lot of
great little towns ands cities in this area, I decided to leave the
Waterfront Trail. A lot of this area was settled by the Empire
Loyalists. I think you folks south of the border have another name
for them.

These towns, particularly Port Hope, take in pride in preserving
their original main streets. It was like pedaling back in time.

I passed another mile stone. By the end f the day, I have pedaled
3,049 miles and climbed 110,335 feet.
