Day 13 Thunder Bay to Rossport Ontario


A brief report as I appear to be in a blackout zone.

Today"s ride is dedicated to Terry Fox, the man who started this whole notion of self-propelled cross country trips. I stopped in at his memorial just outside of Thunder Bay first thing in the morning for an emotional visit.

I battled headwinds and some pretty challenging climbs all morning to Nipigon at the 100 km mark and was about to check in a motel when I realized the change in direction made for better winds so I decided to go for it. Besides, a day dedicated to Terry is no time to wimp out.

Today's ride: 174.2 km.
Average speed: 19.7
Trip distance to date: 1481.5 km.
