After a good day off I was feeling refreshed and raring to go today as the sun was shining and there were no winds, perfect for cycling. Agnes for once today was grumpy in the morning which made me laugh as it is always the other way around.
We set off for Nipigon in no great rush and stopped at the Terry Fox memorial along the way. Terry fox for those of you who don't know is a famous Canadian who attempted to run across Canada. He was a cancer sufferer and had lost a leg to the illness. This didn't stop him in his tracks though as he ran halfway across Canada before eventually the cancer stopped him from going any further. He ran a marathon a day and covered around 3000 miles, most definitely a Canadian hero. The memorial has a great view over Lake Superior so many photos were taken.
As Agnes wasn't to happy today and after paying all that money to get our bikes sorted her gears were messed up we stopped early for breakfast part 2. As always a great breakfast and to top it off we had the old classic pie and ice cream. The Chinese owned restaurants aren't as frequent now which is a shame as I enjoyed the banter a lot.
The rest of today's ride was smooth sailing with no punctures due to our super new tires. We spent the night in a campsite outside of Nipigon and did all the usual eat, wash and sleep routine.
