We are now in Thunder Bay but obviuosly I should tell you about how we got here. The day we left Kenora was quite the shock to the system after being off for 12 days without any biking other then just around town. We biked down highway 71 or King's Highway, and this highway has so many hills atleast 1 every 2km. So it was a lot harder then we were ready for. We went 76km the first day and that brought us too Sioux Narrows where we spent the night. This is a beautiful highway, it reminded us of highway 307 in Manitoba. The next day was our longest yet, we didn't mean for it to happen but we missed our stop and had to go another 50km to get to the next town. The first 70km was all hill but the last 35 was a nice flat newly paved dream of a road. We got to a place called Emo, we spent the night there.



The next day we went to Fort Frances, this was a short day only 30km. We had planned on spending 2 nights here but that turned into 1. We decided to take a bus from Fort Frances to Thunder Bay and they only leave every second day so we had to go. This was the first bus we have taken so far and it won't be our last.



We have decided to cover some ground since our time is running short. Also there is some stuff that we would like to do before we get to Montreal. We are going to Kitchener Waterloo for a week so I can train in Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun, which is awesome cause I have been teaching myself through books and videos for about 7 years now. Also Tara has a friend that she would like to see that lives somewhere in Ontario, were not sure where yet and we also want to visit our friends in Toronto that we met in Amsterdam at the Stuart Wilde conference. We will be taking the bus from Thunder Bay to Espanola which is just north of Manitoulin Island. From there we will take the Ferry and then ride to Kitchener.



I will still fill you in on what happens as we go, sure the trip is a little different once again but hey it works for us and we aren't doing this for anyone else but ourselves.
