I won't be updating this blog every day, but I may as well take advantage of a wireless connection while I can...
Terrific day on the bike today. Left Port Perry by the old main road which has long been superseded by a highway and largely abandoned by through traffic. So for the first couple of hours I was riding in beautiful sunshine and splendid isolation, sometimes not seeing a car for twenty minutes at a time.
Rolling farmland for mile upon mile. Already, not very far from Toronto, I begin to get some sense of the scale of this country and I expect that impression to grow stronger as the days pass. It's simply enormous. And places seem even further apart when you're riding into a headwind, as I was this afternoon.
Bobcaygeon isn't as picturesque a town as Port Perry, more a place one would pass through rather than making a special journey to visit. It's at the head of Pigeon Lake. There are lakes everywhere.
Tomorrow, Apsley: another 50 miles or so to the North East.
