Wawa to Lake Superior Provincial Park, Agawa Bay Campground
On the road by 8:00, supported, so without gear. Today's ride was hard at times with lots of long gradual climbs followed by similar downhills. 45 km up 45 km down. The views were again spectacular, as good as any scenery we have seen in Northern Ontario. Lots of opportunities for pictures and 'rests'! 30 km into the ride I realized that I 'once again' had a 'back wheel' issue. A spoke had let go from the rim. After some consulting with the 'crew' we decided that I should ride Sue's bike and put her onto my 'wonky' bike. Success for the rest of the day! We have now switched our back wheels so I can 'screw up' another wheel. Sault Ste. Marie can't get to us soon enough!
Today was also another day of firsts, at least for Eric! He rode further than he ever has before and he had his first 'fall' a rather 'ungraceful tumble' in a parking lot. Only minor abrasions. Day 2 and fall # 1, liking my odds of being overtaken.
We were entertained today by a lady from Wisconsin who Neil and Eric referred to as a 'stalker'. We saw her at least 4 or 5 times taking photographs and talking up a storm. She even took an action shot of us as we rode past her on the road.
We are camping in Agawa Bay Campground and it is lightly raining. We are sitting in our 'kitchen shelter' and enjoying the wine. Sure could get used to this 'support thing'!!!
