It took longer to get ready than anticipated – it always happens.

\nLast minute stuff…replacing the seat post, fastening the water bottle cages, \u00a0adjustments, pumping tires, attaching handle bags, and a last minute snack of toast with jam.<\/p>\n

We were on our way about 11:40 am.<\/p>\n

Lunch at Harvey’s in Paris at 1:47 pm.<\/p>\n

Although the route is familiar sharing it makes me appreciate in a new and different way. Cambridge to Brantford long the Grand passing the occasional hiker and biker. Brantford with all its paths; the old trestles, the dike beside the river. Brantford to Dundas through farms and woods. I imagine this geography is unique to Southern Ontario and is there to be appreciated.<\/p>\n

We arrived at the campsite at Dundas Conservation Area just after 5 pm. Unfortunately we didn’t find something to eat on the way and had to bike 5 km off the route to find a suitable restaurant with an outdoor patio. The additional 10 km (there and back) is significant but the restaurant was worth it … beer and pasta.\u00a0 It was nice to sit and wind down.<\/p>\n
