July 29; 85km; 167M vertical




Lancaster to Pointe Claire
We crossed the Ontario-Quebec border shortly after starting today. Another province done. Ontario is by far the longest and hardest province to cross. We climbed more meters in Ontario than in BC and we spent as much time in Ontario as the other 4 provinces combined. We passed through St. Polycarpe and St. Clet, both with nice churches in the centre of town. One more Tim Horton’s stop in Pincourt and we rode home to Pointe Claire to see our wives for the first time in 2 months.
We have completed 907km in the last 7 days and will now enjoy a 4 day break for bike and body maintenance.

Congratulations, Tim and Tim. It must feel super special and exciting all at the same time to cruise in on familiar territory. Nothing like home, huh!

When back on the road, travel safe.
