Blind River to Sheguindah

Today was a sad day for the tour company who is running our tour. There is another group crossing Canada about a week behind us following much the same route. 

Yesterday afternoon a married couple on that tour were killed by a truck. No real details as yet but it's put a dampener on all our spirits. We had a minutes silence at dinner in remembrance of our cycling colleagues.

The road we've been following for the past couple of weeks is not an optimal riding route. The shoulder really isn't wide enough and there are too many large trucks on the road.

Still, I've reached the point with our group where there are more roads to choose from. Hopefully our route takes us along less busy roads from here on.

The ride today was long and hard. 168km with lots of hills and head winds.
But we are at a nice camp by a lakeside. 


Liz has been sharing photos of where she is holidaying. I attach this because it looks somewhat better Thant tent.
