We are crossing into Canada this morning first thing. We are required to all wear our ABB jerseys(the red white and blue ones). Then they close the bridge for us and we cross. Customs clears us through after asking if anyone had any weapons. Yeah, I've got my Uzi in my bike bag...So we're off through the farmlands of southern Ontario and on to London, a small hamlet of 350,000 or so.
The weather is pleasant for the 88 miles. The ride was supposed to be 81 but a detour mistake early on cost us extra miles. oh well, they told us there would be no extra charge!
Here's our hero posing in front of the Welcome to Ontario sign. And the choatic group all trying to get pics of the sign at the same time. Its what we do...
The flags on the American side are a tribute to those lost in the 9/11 disaster. They are at half mast permanently.
An interesting display on somebody's driveway...
There isn't much to comment on today. The ride is flat, through unending miles of farm land, with little new or exciting. The dinner experience is one of the poorest on the trip. Some evenings it's a buffet and once in a while we odrder from a preselected list. Such was this evening. The food was so slow in coming...can you say 55 ravenous cyclists!
