While we are finishing our oatmeal breakfast in Timmies a Ford Focus that looks like one of my neighbours pulls into the lot. Shortly after another neighbour comes through the door looking for us. He says, " I can smell your bike up on the hill from here!" Ray & his wife Penny join us for a few minutes. They are headed out west with Gordie (the Focus owner). This is absolutely amazing. There is no way we could have planned this. It just happened. Serendipity strikes again.
The ride along the North Channel is outstanding; rugged shoreline and water looks so inviting. I know I have said this before, but we actually do have some very nice scenery in Ontario. You just have to drive to the top half of the map to see it. The weather continues to cooperate with sunshine & mid twenty temperatures. We arrive at the Super 8 in Sault Ste Marie at 5 PM. While contemplating getting off the bikes, Ken Wolfe my other riding buddy arrives and beeps his horn to wake us up. Ken has ridden from Mitchell to join us for the trip home. Perfect timing. Wow!
That night we enjoy a steak dinner to celebrate on our last ride of the trip together. It is hard to believe that "Peter and Doug's Excellent Adventure" is coming to an end. It really has been a fantastic trip. At least as we come back to reality we have some really good memories and stories to tell.
