Craig was going in his family in Sarnia for the thanksgiving weekend. He decided to go there by bike, like he did once before. This time, I joined him for the ride last Saturday. That’s about a 160 km (100 miles) ride on county roads. In cycling, this distance is called a Century ride. Weather was fair, just a bit on the cold side (6 degrees C when we started). There was a little bit of wind, but it was usually on our side or with a small component in our back.

The ride went really good. We stopped only once for 25 minutes at Tim Horton in Wallaceburg for a sandwich and restroom break. We paced ourselves well and I finished the ride in good shape. Our average speed was about 28 km/h (a little bit less according to Garmin, a little bit more according to my Bike computer). We covered the distance in 5h42min moving time. I had actually enough energy left in the tank to go running if it would have been needed (triathlon).

It was nice to do it with a friend. I get kind of lonely sometimes at the end of long solo rides. Here is the route we followed:

Corinne and Tracy joined us at our destination with the dogs. We had fries under the Blue Water bridge toguether before splitting for the weekend. We stayed overnight in the area before heading back home on Sunday after walking Newton by the River. Here are a few snapshots taken while rolling:
