Today we started out with a little detour out of camp. Karel led us back down to the waterfront to check out the bridges. They were big and carried cars. If you look closely, you might be able to see the "Welcome to Michigan" sign for the cars heading across to the USA.
The ride today was really flat. We cruised along, but not too fast as there was a headwind from the NE. Peter Wong and Eric Stehouwer joined us for the ride. Somehow the corn fields looked that much better, knowing they are in Canada...
Did y'all see what I did up above... listing the calories I burned today? That's to help me justify eating this today: Bacon Cheeseburger Poutine from Smokes Poutinerie! Nothing says "welcome to Canada" to the Americans like a little French fries, cheese and gravy - with extra toppings! Brandon, Mark, Eric and Malori all tried this for the first time and were suitably impressed.
The route through London was largely through the river pathways. The pavement wasn't too smooth, but it was great to get away from the cars for a bit.
Accommodations tonight are at London Christian High School. We're out on the soccer field, and a few folks are stretched out in the hallways. Temps are supposed to drop to 10C tonight, so we should sleep great outside.
