Day 37 - Mea- (so hungry) ford

Today we rode through the famous Bruce Peninsula. The troops were anxious to get through the day, so they all took a shortcut except for me. I felt like taking the scenic route, despite my bad experience two days ago and this time it worked out much better. I followed grey road number 1 along the shores of Georgian Bay.

The combination of no traffic, mostly excellent road conditions and occasional scenery made for a pleasant ride. It was also overcast all day and a perfect temperature for riding. Hey, check this out. A bike lane!

We're starting to go through some charming towns too. Wiarton (home of Wiartion Willie) was our lunch stop. There were lots of old stone and brick houses, and this one which has unfortunately seen better days.

Our stop for the night is Meaford, another town with lots of character.

There were a couple of very howly dogs next door to the campground but Rick saved the day by throwing his smelly socks over the fence. Honestly, they immediately went silent.

We had a visit from Bill, our Calgary deserter who lives in this area. It was great to see him again. Here he is with soon-to-be-deserter Chris, getting ready to eat dessert.
