Day 45: Nipigon to Terrace Bay 113km

Today was a great riding day as the weather was perfect and the road ran along Lake Superior for most of the day, which was outstanding. The lake is a crisp blue colour with white sandy beaches and small islands dotted around. It does look like the Caribbean in places but the water is freezing cold all year round. We took today in a very relaxed mood and it turned out to be a great day of cycling. We met a nice couple at a rest area and had a chat while all admiring the beauty of this huge lake. While we were talking a large gang of bikers roared into the rest area. They make me laugh in their leather jackets with tassels and pictures of eagles. As it turned out they were all very nice and we had a bit of banter with them. One of the guys made the comment that 'if it ain't burning fossil fuels I ain't getting on it'. Hilarious comment but a shame that people actually think like that, as he wasn't joking.
After meeting the big bad bikers and their fossil fuel burners we headed off laughing and feeling generally good about the day. We split today up into lots of breaks rather than just one long break and it made the riding less strenuous and the day go by faster. We stopped for the classic breakfast part 2 in a decent looking establishment but it turned out to be a little disappointing. The food was alright nothing special but the service was a joke. The lady running the place just didn't want us in her restaurant and made sure we felt unwelcome. She obviously hadn't heard of our celebrity status across the small towns of Canada, ha ha ha.
Another 40km up the road we decided to have another break at a sweet little town called Rossport. There was only one restaurant in town and it was very fancy so we just had a desert each and of course some tea. The desert was the most outstanding desert of the trip and maybe of my life so far but I'm not sure on that. It was a raspberry trifle type thing and was a taste sensation. Agnes had a chocolate coffee cake which was also truly magnificent. This made up for the sub standard breakfast part 2. After this we strolled on to Terrace Bay and set up camp for the night.
