Met up with all the riders late last nite. Their train didn’t even make it all the way to the destination. They were let off at a town 30 miles from us and bussed to where they would have been let off. Our van had to go pick them up. My train ride wasn’t so bad compared to theirs.
We woke up this morning to thunder and pouring down rain. General consensus was to wait til 9 o’clock when the weather was supposed to clear and then start our ride. Almost right on the appointed hour, the rain quit so we took off. Unreal. Only misted on us and an hour later we had to shed all our rain gear.
Some of the group likes to stop for morning tea, lunch, ice cream and any other excuse they come up with. I, personally, like to ride straight through and eat when I get to my destination. Just before lunch, Dave and I decided to go on and we actually got in 1 1/2 hours before the rest of them. And some of them got caught in the afternoon thunderstorm. So to each his own. Whatever works for each of us is what we have to do.
This is after mid morn tea break. Maureen, Janice, Dave, Karen, Des, Michael, and Kendy. The van driver for the day was Maggie and co-pilot, Bill. 
Today’s ride was on highways with good shoulders and great bike paths on what is called the Blueberry route around lac St. Jean. A nice ride, some wind but very pleasant over all.
