I got up late compared to most mornings at 6:30. Sam and I were riding together today and he was on cooking duty so I had a little more time. Once I got my tent down and ate four pieces of John's deep fried French toast I headed over to the laundry to dry my clothes that were soaked from the day before.
At 50 km we skipped the suggested side trip to the Agawa Rock Pictographs. We did check out the view from the Agawa Bay Lookout and took a couple of pictures.
At 57 km we stopped at the Visitor Information Centre where we filled up our water bottles. The lady in the gift store said the water was not drinkable but another lady took us into the office area and let us use their bottle water.
Outside of the visitor centre we met a father and daughter that were cycling to Montreal from Vancouver. In a couple of years previous the father had did the same trip with his son, now it was the daughters turn. He was using a Yak trailer that held most of their gear and included a 4 litre bottle of water. He said that they had run out of water and wasn't going to let that happen again.
We stopped for lunch in Montreal River. Arlen mentioned that four years ago he had lunch their and he recommended it. We arrived as "new" John and James were leaving. Arlen had been there for only 5 minutes. John arrived shortly after we arrived. Arlen ate and left before realizing that they sold ice cream in the store across from the restaurant.
We finished the ride with only a couple more hills. For dinner the galley crew served stir fry which was enjoyed by all. Tomorrow we arrive in the Soo and next day is a rest day.
