Hi all,

I'm new to the group but not recumbent riding. I've been riding my
96 Ryan Vanguard for about 8 years. I also have a 99 Ryan Duplex
that I get out on once and a while if I can talk someone into going
with me. Suffering from Fibromyalgia the Vanguard is the bike for me
with it's under seat steering and lounge chair position.

I am planning a trip around Lake Huron and was wondering if anyone
had info on route 6 between Hamilton and Tobermory in Canada. I will
be heading north from Hamilton and will be traveling counter-clock-
wise around the lake.

I will leave my house in Western NY and cross into Canada at the
Peace Bridge. I will pickup route 6 in Hamilton heading north to
Tobermory. Take the Ferry to South Baymouth and then Rt. 6 to Canada
17 along the North Shore to Sault Ste. Marie. Then back into the US
and a side trip to Whitefish Point, then south through the U.P. and
another ferry ride to Mackinac Island and on to Mackinaw City. I
will follow the western shore of Huron to Bay City then south east to
Marine City stopping in Mayville MI., I grew up in Mayville NY so
this stop will be kind of fun. Once at Marine City it's back into
Canada then south to Leamington where I'll take the ferry to Pelee
Island and onto Sandusky OH. Going this way I miss Detroit and
Toledo which doesn't break my heart. Once in Sandusky it's east
along the shore of Erie to home in Westfield NY. Guessing mileage
will be around 13 to 14 hundred. If anyone has any info along my
route I would like to hear your experiences.


I went around Lake Erie in 2004 and had a blast and I'm really
looking forward to this trip. Two years ago I started out to conquer
Lake Ontario and cut that trip short due to weather. I started out
in the rain and had 3 days of it followed by 3 great days. Can't
remember the name, but then came the Hurricane from the south. It
didn't look like ideal biking weather so I bailed out, and it was a
good thing I did.



Thanks for reading my post and I look forward to hearing from other
recumbent riders,
Bill
