65.6 miles/ +391.6 ft./ Total miles 847.6 Left Canada today, back into the USA at Marine City, Michigan. Ferry across the St. Clair River from Sombra, Ontario, to Marine City.

18-Port Stanley- Ridgetown: Weather
49.1. Miles/ +833.6 ft/ Total distance 782.0 miles Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it. Maybe not a quote from Mark Twain. Here the talk is of the cold and wet spring. One farmer told me today that the corn should be a foot high by now but instead it's …

14-Niagara Falls: Zero Day
No riding today. My bike and I took a break from each other. The weather was cloudy, 60s, and no rain. So I had a chance to explore the tourist sights. Best view of the falls was from the river just above Horseshoe Falls (Canadian side). There are rapids and standing waves in the river …

26.0 miles/ +467.2 ft/ total miles 563.6 More rain today, not as heavy, but cold. Just about froze waiting in line to get through Canadian customs. But after that the rain let off a bit, for a nice ride along the river to the hostel. Took my bike to the shop a few blocks away …
