I didn't see the sign for Hwy 17. I find it a bit overwhelming in a large city, 70,000, to find a destination amongst the traffic, trying to read roadsigns and dodging potholes and other cycling dangers.
But I made it to Velorution
www.velorution.ca.
There probably aren't many bike shops that have a campground that you can stay for free. Or have a shower or use their Wifi for free. Good deal.
The ride here was good. Much like the previous days rides. I had quite a few people telling me how hilly it was before getting to the Soo. Yes there was a hill but not like in B.C.
I can also use my cell phone now. It's a bit isolating not having communications with the world. I would call Val on a payphone but the phones had bad connections so conversations were difficult.
So I'm spending the evening catching up on emails and this blog.

Going out for dinner with Mom and Val tomorrow evening, hoping to go to Bear Mountain, we will raise a glass to you and wish you a continued safe journey. Hugs
