I reluctantly left the comforts of my Aunt Carol's and Uncle Patrick's cottage today and set out towards North Bay. My goal was not North Bay as it is near 200 kms away and I am not that ambitious at the moment.
I stayed off the Ont 17 highway until I had to get on it, which was just outside of Petawawa. Going through a couple small towns I managed to get a sweet deal on pizza for lunch: 2 slices of pepperoni and a pop for $3.99!
The 17 isn't all that bad so far. Well, the highway is crap for shoulders, but the majority of drivers are considerate. I met a pretty old french guy on a trip from Vancouver to La Beauce, Que. He was super friendly and I snapped a photo of him. Here's some info on him if you're interested and can understand french: http://www.editionbeauce.com/nouvelles/actualites/14307/jacques-palard-arrivera-en-beauce-a-velo.php
Tomorrow I'm headed for North Bay on the shores of Lake Nipissing.

A crazy idea became a spontaneous adventure when I decided to pedal a bicycle to Calgary, Alb. from Halifax, NS in the summer of 2011. Inside you will find stories, pictures, routes and the equipment I used for this journey.
