Parted ways with my travel buddy in Espanola, where she'll go on to Sudbury for a stop off at home and reduce her gear (not to brag but with some pointers from me). From there she'll continue to Nova Scotia. Her story: https://northernlife.ca/local-news/remember-your-roots-ride-an-eye-opener-for-sudburian-324759
The ride into Manitoulin island was awful. It was hill after hill, and finishing a hill was really a lull before the rest of it. The 22 miles into the island felt like 60, and I had to watch my odometer slowly gain miles. I really should have done some hill training. By the time I got on the island I realized how gross I really was. I'd been camping for a week and something, and disgustingly enough haven't done laundry the whole trip. As a remedy I jumped in the lake at the first beach I saw, which at least 'cleaned' myself and my biking clothes. Met an older gentleman who asked me about my trip and asked what I wanted to be "when I grew up". Haven't gotten that one in a while, and I think I disappointed him by saying an astronaut pirate. Or is it a pirate astronaut? Massey to Manitowaning 74 terrible miles
