Day 40 That's right 40. July 29th
Last night we had a major meeting to go over our crossing into Canada and the final 2 days of the ride. That is correct we are getting into single digits on ride days left. For those of you interested in seeing the spectacle, we will be arriving at Wallis Sands Beach in Rye NH on Monday, August 8th at 1130 under police escort. We will dip our front tires into the Atlantic Ocean to complete the journey and the ride will be officially over. This morning they closed the bridge into Canada and we were the only ones on the bridge until we cleared Canadian customs. Not too much to it and then we were on our way for an 84 mile ride to London, Ontario. Farm land and small towns similar to what we saw in Michigan. Photo ops at the welcome to ontario sign. There was a tractor on a pole out in the middle of nowhere that I stopped to take a photo of. Mike came along in the van and took a picture of Michel, Dan and I pretending to lift the tractor over our heads. The pole was hidden by our bodies so it should look pretty good. Nice lunch at bj's deli in the town of Delaware at 63 miles and then on to the finish. Good winds all day until the last few miles when of course we got head winds. We lucked out again with the weather. It poured all night but we didn't get a drop during the ride.
