Day 34

Tuesday, July 27th
Taylor's Cove to Quetico      
154km

For anyone interested, our cue sheet for today was as follows:

- From campsite, turn left onto Route 11
- Cycle 150km on Route 11
- Turn right into Dawson Trail Campground

It is interesting that Route 11 continues East to Toronto, and eventually becomes Younge Street.

Good ride today.  A bit hot, but not too bad.  A bit of a tail wind too, which always makes things easier.

The terrain was very similar to yesterday: lots of rolling hills with trees and rocks on either side.  Several “typical northern ontario lakes” too.

I woke up at 5:30am today, and got on the road quikly.  I cycled alone, until I caught up with Roger and Tito, who were the lead pair at the time.  The three of us cycled togther until the first town, approx. 30km into the day.  We stopped to get drinks and Rosalyn caught us, and joined us for the rest of the day.

There were no cities directly on our route today, so we only stopped twice: once for lunch at the side of the road, and once for a snack at a tourist information booth.

Us - “Your job must get boring at times.”

17 year-old tourist information booth guy - “You have no idea.”

The lake at camp today was beautiful.  We swam in the dark water as the wind brought its surface to life.  We swam out to a big rock, which we halled ourselves up onto, and sat in the sun for a few hours.
