CANADA
CANADA.
Is where I am right now, updating from a library in Port Dover. It is raining a bit right now, but we've got about 50 more miles until our campsite tonight, so I expect that we'll be biking right through it soon.
We've got another couple of days here in Canada, and are planning on arriving at Niagara Falls tomorrow night.
Things of note that happened in Michigan:
Three-bike pile-up that started with Patrick's bike getting caught on a railroad track, resulting in Anna swerving and spinning out and me not swerving and running over Patrick's thigh.
A local cyclist (who patrick and aaron thought may have been God) with a bike shop in his basement only 6 blocks away appearing literally out of nowhere and offering to fix Patrick's busted bike (which he did in only a few minutes).
Canada has been really good to us, in spite of some nasty weather and strong headwinds. Canadians are amazing, and seem to be falling over each other to offer us help with directions, places to stay, food, money, and tours of their racing pigeon cages.
Aaron left us a few days ago to go back to wes for RA training, and we've been coping without him, even though we miss his neverending supply of Irish folksongs and the fact that our camp stove wasn't broken before he left (if you're reading this aaron, sorry. we're going to try to fix it.)
Wesdeathrace ljer, sorry that we haven't called you for a while. We promise to give you a full update as soon are our cellphones are out of roaming.
