We left our cozy beds at the Best Western and headed for the Quebec border, our special friend and the City of Montreal.  As always we had our race for the border and there was some big confusion as to where the border was.  Because of this the race started about 10 kms before the […]

We rode to Verona Ontario from Peterborough the day after my birthday.  Needless to say, that was a very long day on the bike.  It was nice to get that far though because we were able to drive to the cottage for that night.  Andrew’s mom and brother were visiting, along with my Grandpa and […]
