Route 11 was an essential part of today’s ride, and portions of it are marked on our highway map as freeway, which generally means no bicycles. However, there seemed to be no alternative, so Rich and I stopped at the corner store in Trout Creek and asked folks if they knew whether bikes were allowed. The response from the store clerk: “The signs say no bicycles, but I see people riding on it all the time.” That seemed to be the consensus of the other folks in the store, so ride it we did, uneventfully, and we saw no signs about bikes. Actually, the freeway sections have been the safest roads for cycling that we’ve ridden in Canada – wide shoulders and lots of room. I kind of hope we get some more!
Continuing our push toward the coast, today’s ride was 86 miles, with more hills than we’ve had the last few days, but nothing too extreme. Tonight we’re in Huntsville, Ontario. The weather was fine today, but showers are predicted for tomorrow, so we’ll see.
Today’s photo was taken this morning of the mist rising from the lake at our beautiful campground in Port Loring.
