August 4 - Sunday St. Catherines to Burlington |
A fellow guest at the motel told us about the rowing regatta/competition happening this morning at the famous Royal Canadian Henley Rowing Course. |
We watched 2 heats of women's competition from the bike path. |
This one was almost a photo finish! It was exciting even though we had no idea who the teams were. |
They got to rest a little bit before heading back to the starting line. |
Then we were on our way, heading east along Lake Ontario. |
More agriculture but flowers this time. |
Our first really good view of the lake, which is also higher than average. |
Jordan Cove and a pirate ship that had seen better days. |
We are just a week early.....or maybe just in time. |
We were on multi-use paths starting in Hamilton. |
They gave us lots of nice views of the lake. |
This one was particularly well signed. |
And it had handy water sources. |
Donna just happened to glance down as her odometer turned over 23,000 miles. "Only" took 9 years and LOTs of great memories. |
It was such a beautiful Sunday afternoon and there were a lot of people in the parks and along the waterfront enjoying it. |
Doug's bike was still making clicking noises despite tweaking cleats and pedals a couple of times today. |
But first we needed to get over the bridge. |
Somehow we missed the easy way up. It took both of us to get one bike up the ramp but it worked. |
The bridge went up while we were working our way up so we had time to rest. |
They have made it quite easy for cyclists and walkers to move along the waterfront. |
This young man was battling cancer when he started his run across Canada. He died before he could finish the journey. |
Yes, it is a bike rack....but also a work of art. |
The recommended local bike shop. |
Kris had the problem fixed in 5 minutes....for free. (and it hasn't clicked since then) |
But we didn't make it out of the shop without dropping a little cash. Donna had too much time to look around while the guys were diagnosing and fixing the problem. |
Looks like a bike shop from here but it was the buffet where we had dinner. |
This collection of familiar looking mixers graced another wall of the buffet. |
