Ride Against Hunger
It is 6 a.m. on Sunday morning and I'm trying to write quietly while the others continue sleeping. After getting up every morning at 5 for the past two months, my body just doesn't "sleep in" very well, so I thought I would work on my blog for a few minutes.
We are in a very nice KOA campground near the little town of Renfrew, Ontario which is maybe about 45 minutes to the west of Ottawa, Ontario. Tomorrow as we ride we will circle under Ottawa and avoid the traffic and congestion of the City. We will then move on over toward the Province of Quebec where we will be riding for a couple days, and then back in the U.S.
Joe and I have been pushing our bodies pretty hard the past few days. We have had several 80 plus miles in a row and were really feeling it the last couple days. Decided that this would be a good place to just take a rest. In fact we found a woman here at the campsite who is a message therapist and we both had her work us over yesterday afternoon...on the picnic table outside our RV. No pictures of that sight.
In today's blog I've included a few pictures from our las few days of riding. We rode through Algonquin Provincial Park a couple days ago, and the lake and river shots were taken there. We've also had some days with a lot of road construction and I've included a shot that pretty much defined one whole day of riding. And of course it continues to rain off and on, and I caught Joe in his very dorky (but functional) rain gear.
Hope you are all well. We will rest today and then push on towards Portland, ME where we plan to finish next Saturday afternoon. Big challenge for us is to focus on the day and miles ahead and not get ahead of ourselves.
Have a great day!
