Fort Erie was hospitable enough. Found a good Itilian restaurant. Note: I'd starve to death if it wasn't for the Itilians. FE is in the shadow of the Friendship bridge which leads to the States. This is about 15 or 20 miles from the Falls.
The ride was pretty pleasant today with only mild headwinds but pretty flat terrain.
As the ride was day before yesterday, nothing stands out in my mind about it except we navigated our way along the lake's shore. Nice houses and largely well kept yards. Leading to FE. Same kind of scenery along the way. 50 & 60 kph speeds mostly so the riding was enjoyable. Long spans between villages for food and drinks for next few days. Camping limited so we have to plan our days accordingly.
Actually, leaving FE, we followed the Friendship Trail for perhaps 25 miles. This was a dedicated multipurpose route that would cross over roads and thru towns. Ridgeway was a fave stop for coffee
we stumbled upon as we do most things on this journey. Food, coffee and locals were all above par.
Fred and I decided to make for a campground in the Long Point region called the Haldimand Campsite located by a big pavilion. We were the only tents so we had the run of that area. No wifi but didn't get charged anything either. Seniors on bikes does have its advantages. The spot I picked was on the water's edge, up on a small bluff that made for an unobstructed view. The breeze was nice but the sun was pretty intense. Fortunately, I picked a site that was shaded as the day progressed. Fred's tent was in a flat grassy spot closer to the pavilion. Downside, showers and bathrooms were 200 yards away. We do suffer so :)
Meals consisted of 1 pot of pasta and broccoli with a tin of chicken. Desert was a Snickers bar I happily discovered.
Mileage 65
