Day 26, July 15, Dryden Ont. to Ignace Ont.

Today was a short day, so we didn’t leave Dryden until 11:00am. We stopped at a gas station to stock up on chocolate bars and Doritos.

Rain hit us as soon as we got on the road. It only lasted about an hour before we saw blue sky. A benefit of rain is that you don’t have to deal with the horse flies. There was a fair bit of construction on the road today. Being on a bike, you can usually just go ahead.

The ride was pretty uneventful. Brett broke two spokes on the cartridge side of his back rim, but made it into town. As we rode into town we met up with an Aussy who was making the same trip. He was trying to lose weight before his wedding. We also met up with the guy from Dryden. He decided to stay with us for the night.

We only rode a little over a 100k today. It was a nice break. We are now a day ahead of schedule. Tomorrow is only a 100k-day, again. There are such few town around here, you either ride 200K+, or split it in two.
