Pancake Bay to Sault Ste. Marie

Saturday and Sunday 20/21 July
Two great days riding into the Soo as the locals call it. Tomorrow is a rest day.


Lookout at Agawa Bay - it was near here that the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in 1975

Have now done 4200km with 3300 to go! The camp on Pancake Bay was on the lake edge. A stiff wind and sun kept the Mosquitos at bay. We had a campfire and sat around till late evening drinking Italian Merlot - just how camping should be.

I rode with Harry and Angela both days - stopping at the Agawa Bay park centre and various little eateries! 

I've been to see the Bushplane museum here at the Soo - an excellent exhibition of old De Havilland float planes.


The McKenzie River flowing into Lake Superior

The bike is going well - colleague Mile has done his magic and all the gears are now working properly.

I'm planning to stay with our friends the Broads next weekend in Toronto.

Anyway we are all off to dine Italian tonight. Next reports in a couple of days.
