A SUPERIOR CYCLING TOUR - D4

MONDAY JULY 20, 2015
THUNDER BAY TO NIPIGON, ONTARIO, CANADA

Kristen and Hyla ,with some special helpers, will use this morning to do a quick pit stop in Thunder Bay.

A troublesome tire needs some attention.

I'll take advantage of their latter departure and slowly head out and try to find my legs.

(Hope there still not back at the Porter baggage claim.)

We'll meet soon.

With the focus being on packing up, including my bike, and moving out of our lovely house the past month or two, I'll be thrilled to bag the 99 today and will ignore the 675 for now.

Did I ever tell you that last November Nicola and I ran a half.........

It gives it more meaning. It’ll inspire more people. I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.

Meeting some cycle tourers already. This couple on their first tour started in Barrie and plan on circumnavigating, going around, whatever, Lake Superior.

From talking and just judging by their smiles it won't be their last tour.

Welcome to the club.
