The route however was mainly along a coastal cycle way both on quiet roads and separated cycle way. There was obviously a lot of riding through suburban streets.
Despite the distance it was a pretty route with lots of views of Lake Ontario. Grafton is also mostly on the lake edge. The campsite seems quiet.
The few days off have allowed me to fully recover. It was also a mail day and a big surprise to get one from home wishing me happy birthday for the 4th.
Other news was that one of our number has had to leave the tour. He fell 200m from the hotel in Toronto and broke his knee. Chad was a Canadian living in Japan. Sad day for the small group of us who all liked him. Harry left the tour as planned in Toronto - so we are now 8 riders.
The tour manager from Alliston, Bud and his wife Margot drove the truck to Grafton today to give Shane and Megan another day off in Toronto. They are on dinner duty as I type.
Weather today gave us strong tail wind with the same promised tomorrow.
Here is the team on the Lake Ontario waterfront today.
