A long day of biking today took us from Echo Bay to Spragge, Ontario. 90 miles is more than Rich and I would like to do, but sometimes circumstances require it. The terrain was pretty easy, with no major climbs; the scenery was fine, with more forested corridors, nice farms, some very small towns, and some nice lakes and rivers, including the north channel of Lake Huron; and passable weather, with lots of sprinkles but nothing to get us too wet.
After we arrived in Spragge the rain started in earnest, forcing an indoor visit from Kate and Tom Stohlman. Kate and Tom are friends of my brother, Bill, and they have been aware of our trip. It turned out that they were travelling to a summer home on St. Joseph's Island, and we determined that we would be crossing paths today. So they stopped in, introduced themselves, and we had a very chat for a half hour or so. Then they made a nice donation to Rich's Ride Against Hunger and went on their way. It's fun to know that this ride has captured folks' imagination!
