This morning was a bit of a late start because we only had to go 118 kms. Quite a few people were arriving from being away for their rest day mostly visiting their families and some exploring Niagara Falls and Toronto.
By 8 everyone was back and the truck had been loaded up. Sam, John, and I started out together but in less than a hour we were joined by the fast four. The terrain was country roads and rolling hills. Our elevation gain was far less than the previous ride day from Owen Sound but my legs were still a little sore.
We were in Uxbridge at lunch time and stopped at the Tin Cup Caffe for bite. I had a cheese and ham pretzel bun that was toasted. Everyone enjoyed their lunch. We were asked by the owner for a picture of all of us outside after lunch so she could post it on Facebook. We did so.
After lunch I dropped from the rest of the group as their pace was a little too fast for me with a full belly. John and I rode together for the rest of the afternoon. About 15 km from camp we stopped at a small town called Blackstock for a break. The rain started.
By the time we made it too camp we were soaked. Most people were at camp already except for four riders. Everyone was under the tent shelters staying dry. Ben let us know that we could sleep inside the hall instead of our tents.
We set up our sleeping bags on the concrete floors in large hall. Dinner was a meal that was prepared by Laura's parents of brisket and salad. It was delicious.
Friends of mine might stop by as we are the closest we will be to Peterborough this trip. Tomorrow's ride should be flatter terrain as we are on highway 2 by lake Ontario.
