Nipigon to Schreiber
We left Nipigon at 10:45 and headed east on Highway 17. Our hopes of the NW wind to push us along were dashed when we saw a SE wind blowing during breakfast. The day did not start well for TimG because the pancakes that he had looked forward to were served cold so he sent them back and made do with a cup of coffee. We set off against a strong head wind and the road featured many climbs several of which were long and steep. Because of the conditions our average speed was only 19kph. The road ran close to the shores of Lake Superior and we often had good views of the scenery. Shortly after starting we came across another group of cyclists on a cross Canada ride. We had camped at the same campsite in Assiniboia Sask June 19. We leapfrogged each other all day long and ended up eating lunch together in Rossport, a pretty little town right on the edge of the lake.
