Day 4 Picton to Port Hope, Ontario

After a night camping near Sandbanks Provincial Park, we got an early start and stopped after 15 miles for a great breakfast in Wellington. Our ride to Port Hope was scenic, but uneventful- except for a brief stop just 5 miles from our hosts to wait out a downpour.

We have enjoyed an incredible evening around the fire with Bart and Judith in Port Hope. The picture shows us enjoying some chat after dinner. Our first order of business upon arrival was for a swim in Lake Ontario- right in their backyard! Refreshing after a 75 mile day on the bike! Dinner, beverages and ice cream around the fire pit capped a good day.
Tomorrow we set out for Toronto…..another 70+ mile day, but by now we are used to it. So far we have covered about 320 miles in the last four days.

Day 3 - Cape Vincent to Picton...67 miles...245 total so far

Another great riding day today - lots of sun...very few hills...a little wind in our faces. Shown is the campsite we left this morning in Cape Vincent.

Christoph, Ken and Edmund are enjoying the ferry ride from Cape Vincent to Wolfe Island.

So far no flats (are you happy, Carlo ?). We ended up at a nice camp site near Sandbanks Provincial Park (Martin's River Resort). They have a beautiful beach within walking distance. For dinner we had burgers - just no better choices near the camp site. I will update again tomorrow (son Christoph: haver a safe trip back from Venezuela tomorrow - I will be thinking of you) - Cheers...

Day 2 - Oswego to Cape Vincent - not able to post

Day 2 - Oswego to Cape Vincent - 84 miles ...

Day One - Honeoye Falls / Macedon to Oswego, NY

It could not have ended any better...

We ended up at our warmshowers.org hosts Dave and LeeAnn Bauer just East of the city of Oswego - just before 6 pm (seen on the picture above) - we are being absolutely pampered by them...from champagne for welcome, great dinner with home made cheese cake and red wine, beside the wonderful warm shower, laundry service and our own bedrooms...how can you top that...Thank You, Bauer's !!!

So, the ride went very well. We were able to avoid some bad weather, but ended up riding in pouring rain for the last 4 miles. Christoph and Edmund started at 5:30 am and met up with Kathy and Ken in Macedon a couple of hours later. For the Napp's, the trip was about 100 miles (about 160 km) - the Nawrocki's rode for little over 75 miles. Christoph and Ken trailed the trailer for the entire distance (Thanks !!) - tomorrow is Edmund's turn...(for one trailer)

Our first short break was at Pultneyville (the other pic) , where we still looked reasonably fresh...

Tomorrow we are heading to Cape Vincent - not sure where we will stay, yet - nothing will be as fancy as our first night.

One day to go...

13 hours to go before we take off...
Christoph (shown on the left) arrived last night in Rochester - on time. Today we finalized the packing - stopped by at Nawrocki's to pick up some bags...checked out the road between our house and Nawrocki's house to make sure we find our way tomorrow.
We test rode our fully loaded bikes around the HF neighborhood - Christoph was able to try to ride with the trailer - he liked it ;o) .
Oh yeah - we caught a chipmonk this morning and set it free at Nawrocki's house...
