It was a very rare occurrence today that mostly all riders started at the same time. It is nice to share the experience of the day together. Before we had our first stop Viki rubbed tires and went down on the pavement. I didn't see it happen but the group I was riding with stopped to assist. She was lucky to scrape her hip and bruise her hand a little.
We stopped at Rachel's Bakery and 50's diner in Lion's Head. The tables and pictures on the walls were from the 50's. They had many kinds of squares and pies. We bought a whole raspberry pie as it was cheaper than buying 6 individual pieces.
Later on while we were in Wiarton we stopped by the Wiarton Willy statue which is in a very nice park on the shores of Georgian Bay. Other visitors to the statue saw our jerseys and asked us about the tour. They were nice enough to take a picture of the three of us.
Past Wiarton we saw the Niagara escarpment for the first time. The road was very smooth and the traffic was light. Houses on the left side were on the water and some were very nice. At Big Bay we stopped for an ice cream that was the best we've had on this tour.
Just past the ice cream shop Sam and I formed pace line with Duncan and Laura. We made really good time the rest of the way into Owen Sound. We were second ones to make it to camp. Arlen beat us all there.
Dinner was chicken curry that was very good. Tomorrow my father is picking me up after our ride and I will spend the rest day in Peterborough.
