Day 36: Beausejour to Kenora 171km

This was our last bit of the prairies as Kenora is in Ontario and the landscape will change dramatically. After so many days of flat open fields we entered the land of trees and rocks, which was a strange feeling for me. I thought that I would appreciate getting out of the prairies and seeing something different but I was a bit disappointed. The main reason being that the day seemed to go on forever as the land is very choppy now with some steep climbs. We broke another record today and cycled 110km before stopping for lunch/breakfast part 2. We stopped in the resort of White Hawk Lake just before the Manitoba/Ontario boarder. We found a place for lunch which was a bit expensive for us but it was the only option as now there is a much greater distance between towns and this will carry on throughout northern Ontario. It didn't matter in the end as a family we talked to outside who were into cycling and just on their way home payed for our lunch. This of course put a smile on our faces and was appreciated enormously. They also said that if we had been a day earlier we could have stayed in their cottage on the lake, but never mind at least the offer was there. We haven't had much luck with staying at peoples houses' since BC so it would have been awesome. We are definitely all about staying at peoples houses' so if anyone is randomly reading this blog and lives along the way don't hesitate to get in touch, ha ha ha.
The second part of the days riding was very tough as it was even hotter than the day before but we managed it and are still alive to tell the tale. After 5 excellent days of riding we are going to take a day off and hopefully get to computers etc.
