    This is not a kissing book!

    Meaford, ON, CA – Utopia, ON, CA Staying on the Princess Bride theme, do you remember in the beginning when Peter Falk’s grandfather character tries to convince the not-feeling-well Fred Savage character to let him read the story? “Is this another kissing book?” asks Fred’s character. Well, the grandfather’s answer – all about adventure, swordsmanship,

  • Waterfalls & Porcupine Quills

    Wiarton, ON, CA – Meaford, ON, CA I guess maybe we’re getting the hang of this bike touring thing. We get up, we pack up the tent, we find a coffee shop, post our blog, and we ride and see. Then, once we reach our destination for the day we hit a grocery store, head

    Cindy Lou’s Poutine

    Tobermory, ON, CA – Wiarton, ON, CA Since the Ominous Ghost Cloud our riding has really been pretty nice and easy. Wind generally at our back. Fair skies. Fun riding. So good, in fact, that we decided to throw in a ride on a mountain bike trail along the way. We took the green route

  • Google Maps for Bikes Goes Horribly Wrong!

    Thessalon, ON, CA – Serpent River, ON, CA Now that I’ve been doing this a few days I can say that there are days where a long time goes by and you’re not quite sure what you’re going to write about. Today was not one of them. As soon as we left Tim Horton’s –

    My Day Off

    Sault Ste. Marie, ON, CA – Thessalon, ON, CA The truth is that I was prettty tired by the end of the day yesterday. It’s not that we biked that far, or that the day was that hard. But eight straight days of 4-6 hours per day is a lot for this old body. I

    CANADA!!!

    St. Ignace, MI, USA – Sault Ste. Marie, ON, Canada When we pulled in to St. Ignace yesterday I realized that the main road from St. Ignace to Sault Ste. Marie is an interstate. My first thought was that maybe I had the U.P. all wrong. They have an interstate – makes it a real

    Bike Jail

    Hog Island, MI – St. Ignace, MI We interrupt our regular scheduled programming for a special report. Mackinac Island. Yes, we had to actually ride to get to Mackinac – and I’ll get to that. But clearly the headline for the day was the tourist trap they call Mackinac Island. (Did I mention this place
