We didn’t get out of Kenora until late morning. Luckily there was a Canadian Tire just down the road. I needed a new rain jacket. A McDonald’s was just across the street, so we ate there for breakfast/lunch.
It wasn’t very long before I needed my rain jacket. A large storm over took us. It rained for a couple hours, but it wasn’t too cold. Vanessa and I decided to have a coffee at a mom and pop shop on the side of the road. The coffee was fantastic. Brett was riding slower today because he wasn’t feeling well. He decided not to stop and continue on.
We made it into Dryden fairly late, around 9:00pm. We talked to another biker on the side of the road who was making the same trip as we made it to town. A pulp and paper mill was the first thing we saw and smelt as we rode in.
The highways have been improving. Everyone warned us about the roads in Northern Ontario, but aside from the copious amount of semi-trucks, they’ve been okay. No comparison to Manitoba. We only rode 130k today. There wasn’t a flat stretch of road on the entire leg. It was all hills the entire way. It was a good ride, however.
