A day of fun in Thunder Bay
Well today turned out to be a great day for just relaxing. We all worked on our bikes this morning after a good breakfast and then we contacted a warmshowers member here in Thunder Bay - in fact, the only member in Thunder Bay. Frank has had over 20 guests stay with him this summer so far. He and his girlfriend, Marcy, are perfect hosts. They allowed us to come over with no notice and made all of us feel very welcome. We are set up in our own beds and will sleep well tonight.
Also, we visited the Terry Fox memorial and drove around the city a little bit. That's right, we drove. Frank lent us his car and I got to drive for the first time in what seems like years, but is really only weeks. It felt so strange; I could barely go the speed limit because it felt so fast!
Tomorrow will be a ~150 km ride to Upsala, Ont. where I think we cross into another time zone. An extra hour in the day? Alright.
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.
