Ottawa to Brockville
We did it! All the way from Ottawa to Brockville. We forgot to check Sigmund, but total was close to 130km.
There were a number of factors in our favour: several days of rest, good roads, last weeks' experiences of riding, good sleep and good food. All this made it possible to ride all the way even with a late start.We left Ottawa Municipal campsite at 10am, had a 1/2 hr stop for groceries at Loblaws. Riding across Ottawa seemed really long, not particularly urban, and quick at the same time. By lunchtime at 1pm we had cycled 60km and reached Kemptville, which started the day in a good way. The next break we had was in Merrickville
, a very pretty town and a bit like Dundas. However, we were concerned about a lack of campsites beyond there. A very helpful Parks Canada staff person helped us find an info book and we decided to head on for Brockville. Apparently, you can camp at any lock on the Rideau canal for very cheap!It was the first day we rode in long-sleeve jerseys. The day was mostly overcast and it created some great afternoon light. We saw some beautiful houses along the way. It was good to get back to cycling. However, we got chased and rather scared (P) by a cheeky dog, and there were more either barking and/or on the loose.
It was a real treat to come through the centre of Brockville which had some great old homes and mansions. We have set up camp at St. Lawrence Park on the banks of grand St. Lawrence river.
Dinner was tortellini and veggie burgers, chocolate peanuts and juice. And it was very good. In the evening we were still pretty energetic and went to get an ice cream at a nearby gas station.We did find ourselves wondering what happened today to the clothes we wore to the show last night. Hmmm?
