We took a bit of a different route than was mapped out fir us this morning. We
followed Ridge Rd until Hamilton. We passed through many vineyards and small
farms. I stopped to buy some raspberries from a farm stand. We were set back a
bit when my derailleur hanger snapped in half, but I was fortunate to have a
motorist stop and offer an old derailleur he had at his house up the road! He
even helped me put it on and adjust it, he used to work at a bike shop. Back on
the road we had a late lunch before continuing on through Hamilton rounding the
western edge of Lake Ontario. The group was excited to see Toronto off in the
distance. Yet we had a grueling ride to the Bronte Campground as we faced a strong
headwind and busy roads. Chefs Claire
and Kyle made an outstanding dinner! Off to Toronto tomorrow!
