Adolfustown to Elgin

110km today and all in the rain! However I found it one of the more enjoyable rides.  The route was beside Lake Ontario for the first 50 km and we had a good tail wind.


Brian, Angela and self yesterday on the ferry to Adolfustown.

It poured in Kingston but Brian, Angela and I stopped at a cafe for an hour to drink real coffee and warm up. The rain kept us there for 2 coffees and cheesecake and the waitress seemed keen to talk.

Kingston would be worth a return visit. Even in the rain it looked attractive. Right on the lakefront.

Angela had a flat tyre soon after we restarted which I changed for her. Then we were on rolling country, but virtually no cars. The last 2 km into camp it poured with rain and we were on a very greasy gravel road.

Everyone used a hose to clean the bikes (and themselves) before we were allowed into the chalet.

 The place has a nice hot shower and Shane is now preparing the evening meal with the use of a real oven!

It's still pouring outside but Peter says its fine in Toronto so with luck a fine day tomorrow.

The attached photo shows Brian and I outside the cafe in Kingston, raining as we departed.
