Day 52: Massey to South of Little Current

Before I get into the details of our day I want to mention that on Thursday the 28th of July at:

Toronto Rehab Centre Track

347 Rumsey Road


The Cardiac Health foundation is hosting a rally for the "Ride for Rehab" starting at 2:00 pm.

We'll be making a few big announcements relating to The Ride for Rehab and The Cardiac Health Foundation of Canada and we'd love for you all to be there.

More details about this event will be forthcoming soon.

Back to the day's events, Vanessa and I have been fiercely debating for days where the magic invisible line that separates North and South Ontario lies.  Today when we passed the Tim Horton's / Wendy's combo rest stop at the junction of highway 17 and 6 we think we found our answer.  Whether or not we are now in Southern Ontario, it sure does feel a lot like it.

I know I harp on about markers and milestones, but they're one of the things that keep you sane on a trip of this length.  If all we had was counting down the approximately 50 days left to St. John's I think we might start to go a bit nutty.  With this in mind, today we crossed yet another of our many markers.  At Espanola we finally left the Trans-Canada highway we've followed without breaking from Sicamous to the junction we hit earlier today.  It felt great to finally leave behind the heavy traffic and atrocious curbs we've battled for the last week or so.

I think Vanessa mentioned yesterday that from here on in we're taking it pretty easy to Toronto.  We banked a lot of extra time in case of storms, or equipment failure and ended up not using any of it.  So don't be surprised if we have pretty low daily distance totals between here and Toronto.
