Thunder Bay to Nipigon
I think if we had stayed any longer living the good life with TimB”s relatives we would not have got back on the bikes. It was 11:30 before we got going. We had to ride along the north east shore road to Nipigon with a strong NW wind blowing across or against us. Together with stretches of road that were in an appalling state (and we are talking about the Trans Canada Highway here) it was a fairly tough day. After about 70km we took a loop road to Ouimet/Eagle Canyon to see Canada’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge over Eagle Canyon. I thought it was daylight robbery charging us $18 apiece to walk over the bridge but we did have a good laugh getting it to sway about and trying to bounce it up and down (actually that was me while TimB was trying to take pictures). After that little excursion we had to crack on for the last 40km as it was getting a bit late. We finished tired but with high hopes of being able to benefit from the NW wind in the morning when we turned the corner to start heading E along the north side of the lake.
