Daily Summary:

Sorry about no update yesterday.  We had internet, but it wasn’t sufficient to upload the website.  Please go back and read about yesterday!

 

Today was our last day rolling through Ontario.  We had another relatively easy day with moderate mileage, gently rolling elevation, reasonable weather, and a nice tailwind.  Raymond and I switched places, and he captained the tandem for the greater part of the ride today.   While still far from the ideal stoker, I did a lot better back there this time.  Raymond was great up front.  Christopher rode to the first SAG stop, then met us again just short of the border so we could cross together.  We rode into town just at the falls overlook on the Canadian side, and I have to say that it was pretty spectacular.   Raymond said it was the coolest scene of the whole trip so far.  It was also fun riding our bike across the rainbow bridge and through customs.  Our hotel is right at the New York side of the bridge, so close to all the action.  The falls are lit at night, so we went out to see them again, along with watching the well done fireworks. 

 

In the pictures below you have some action shots of us, taken by Bill of the staff.  Then, the boys at the falls overlook.  Finally, the obligatory state line shot.
