My dad and I left camp today and only rode about the first 3km of the
route before taking a Southward turn to Ingersoll to visit my Uncle Norm, Aunt
Mel, and my cousins Ryan, Jennie, Ang and Jason. Ryan was working at the fire hall, so the
rest of the clan (including Ryan and Jennie’s three kids!) met us in the
parking lot with Tim Horton’s. We had an
excellent visit for about an hour before Ryan got a call and we decided to head
out. We headed north and hooked back up
with the Sea to Sea route quite a bit
behind most of the riders (all the SAGs were already packed up, which we were
counting on). We stopped in Bright, ON
for ice cream (at the post office of all places, but Bright is not a really big
town and I think the post office might be the only store). As we headed on, we ran into Kaitlyn, Katie
and Malori, who were a bit behind the main group as well as one of them had a
phone interview that morning. My dad and
I continued with the 2 of us, and had a great, leisurely ride through beautiful
Southern Ontario farmland. I know I’ve
said it before, but it sure is great to be home. After riding through much of the States
(which is beautiful), I still would have to argue that Canada is the best!

When we got to camp, I had a little joke for my parents. They hate getting into camp and then finding
that someone has set his or her tent to close to theirs, so while they were
both in the shower, I got some willing co-conspirators to set up their tents
VERY close to my parents’ tent. The look
on their faces when they got back and could hardly get into the doors of their
tent was priceless! Definitely worth
moving all those tents!
