Colpoy's Bay to Our House
After being treated to another great breakfast we were on the road by 9:05. Thanks Dorothy for making our overnight stay a special one!
Our ride down from Wiarton to Owen Sound was a nice easy ride on County Roads in much better condition than our Provincial Highway #6! It was made easier when we got to Cobble Beach and dumped our gear into Bruce's truck (Sue's cousin) for him to carry home for us. Thanks Bruce, it really is so much easier without all that weight! The hills between Owen Sound and our house have sure become 'easier' after almost 5000 km of cycling. We 'cruised' up hills that we used to train on and struggle to climb. I guess we really are stronger now than we were 2 1/2 months ago!
We were treated to Sue's family arriving at our home with dinner tonight. Nice treat since we really do not have any food in the house! Thanks guys and it was nice to see everybody.
We are planning on taking two days off to get ourselves organized and ready for the 2nd part of our adventure. It is hard to believe that we have traveled from Vancouver all the way to South western Ontario by bicycle! We have been warned that stopping at home is a mistake as you will not want to start back up again feeling you have already accomplished something. I am positive that is not going to be the case. We are looking forward to the rest of our journey.
