Day 54 – Distance: 137.7 km
Colborne to Kingston, ON

A perfect day; I was so glad that Kim had a day with the wind in our back, overcast skies (no rain), and incredible scenery. I love Prince Edward County for biking; we also had great views before and after. The Glenora ferry was fun, and the Bloomfield bike store absolutely a riot. Of course, the first thing the gals there said when they saw Kim’s saddle was “are you hurting”, and of course Kim answered, “as a matter of fact, I am”. The co-owner is a woman, as are several of her staff, and she stated “this type of saddle just makes hamburger of our most precious asset”. I’m sure Stuart will be quite happy to pay for the new saddle she bought… I bought a new one there in 2001, and was amazed at the difference to our female anatomy.

Heather and Alec stayed with us until after lunch in Bloomfield, then we headed on to Picton, Adolphustown, etc.

We did see an osprey, and lots of familiar scenery from other biking trips I have made in the area; we’re camping in Kingston and are just about to go out for supper – so I’m signing off!

Back again, briefly – we went out to the Grizzly Grill in Kingston, and I tried ostrich. Very tasty, with shiitake mushrooms.

Not much fauna, except an osprey and a heron.
