Day 35 – Kitchener, Ontario (Friday, June 5, 2015)
I set off today with Kitchener in my sights. The winds started West by South West which slowed me a bit but changed direction throughout the day to a welcoming strong North West breeze.
Although Owen Sound is one of my favourite Ontario towns I decided to bypassed it to save time and avoid the climb up the escarpment. The route took me past a gem of an old mansion located at 102640 Grey County Road #18 where I stopped to explore. The gardens and buildings were fairly well maintained and very impressive. I did not stay long enough to get the history and intend to go back when I have more time.
I think I had lunch in Durham but it was pretty much a blur.
It started to rain heavily just North of Mount Forest and I had to turn my lights on for safety reasons. The rain was a cool break from the rather warm humid day.
With the breeze, and the anticipation of home the ride was one of the most pleasant.
I arrived at home in Kitchener a little after 5pm. While I was gone Elise, Ann and Michelle had been busy preparing the gardens and perfecting the house. I appreciation them more after being away.
