Ontario, Super Mario

Hey everyone!

Sorry it's been so long. Internet access is SO hard to find for a traveller in Canada unless you knock on people's houses (which I'm not partial for). I'll give you a brief layout of what's been happening.

Moosejaw to Grenfell (regina, indian head, grenfell)
-day off in Regina
-tents flooded in the middle of the night in Grenfell because of storm 1 and ended up in a motel. Grenfell...is umm...NOT a place I want to go back to.
-chewed up by mosquitoes, noseeums, and black flys

Grenfell-Winnipeg (moosomin, miniota, minnidosa, portage, winnipeg)
-day off in grenfell because of thunder storm 2
-put in the moosomin newspaper and stayed the night at the reporters house
-a lot of broken spokes on Christian's new bike
-christian hitch hiking to Winnipeg to get his bike fixed
-Jeremy, Megan and I caught in thunder storm 3 on our way to portage le prairie
-Jenna hitch hiking the rest of the way to portage (20km)
-Thunder storm 4 into winnipeg
-Thunder storm 4 into winnipeg
-free showers from someone who lived in Miniota who later accused us for stealing her phone...

Winnipeg-Thunder Bay (pine creek, kenora, vermillion bay, dryden, ignace, upsala, thunder bay)
-Cycled with a guy named Julian from Victoria for three days
-Got to our half way mark!
-Entered Ontario!
-Cycled with a guy named Ben from Britian for ...well it's been over a week and he's still with us!!
-Cycled with a guy named Johannes from Germany for one day
-Caught in Storm number 5 that lasted 5 hours
-Jeremy's back tire popped so he hitch hiked into Thunder Bay (100Km)
-Another broken spoke on Christian's bike an he hitch hiked to thunder bay(90km)
-day off in Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay - Terrace Bay (Nipigon, Rossport, Terrace Bay)
-we've been hitting some very steep and long climbs again and it feels like we're back in the fraser canyon...or even the rockies at times
-rossport people are unwelcoming but the beach was beautiful
-terrace bay is beautiful

Long time, no see.

Hey everyone!

Sorry it's been such a long time since our last update. We haven't had much access to the internet.
The past couple of weeks have been going well. We've had an unusual amount of mechanical malfunctions. Most just some broken spokes, although I did have to buy a new tire in Thunder Bay because my other one wore out.
We met a few other cyclists who we joined up with. Julian (from Victoria, BC) and Johanos (from Germany) have since left and continued at their own pace. We met Ben (from England) at the Manitoba/Ontario border and he has been riding with us ever since. He's riding from Vancouver to Halifax in order to raise money for injured servicemen.
There is so much more to tell, but I have to be going now. I will try to update again once we hit Sudbury (hopefully in about a week and a half).

Take care!

Jeremy
