Agawa Bay Campground to Pancake Bay Provincial Park
After a 'soggy' evening and a 'wet' night we packed up and were on the road by 8:10. A 'foggy' ride for the first 20 km forced us into using our 'flashing tail lights' and riding close together. Today's ride was challenging at times with longer and steeper hills than the last couple of days. Our 'new crew' members took all the hills in stride and even seemed to enjoy the challenges. I guess they have not climbed enough of them yet!
Today was a day to visit friends and family. About 5 km before our destination a van slowed down and looked at Eric and Neil (who of course were ahead of Sue and I) and then stuck their heads out at Sue and I and yelled at us. Marilyn and Bill (Marilyn works at the hospital with Sue) are at the beginning of a 5 week holiday to the Calgary Stampede and then onto Vancouver Island. Have a great trip guys! Five minutes later a SUV with a trailer carrying a kayak and a canoe slowed and pulled a u-turn and came up behind us. Rob (my 1st cousin) and his wife Jan jumped out. They had been told we were in the area so they were looking for us. One minute later and we would have missed them. Have fun canoeing and kayaking for the next 2 weeks guys.
