Ohhhh, Canada!

Well this was a fun day along with some misadventures.

That's right two as I'm using a new map from the ACA, The Lake Erie Connector.

Highlights, getting misplaced figuring out Lewiston Bridge into Canada, the Niagara River Gorge, The Niagara Falls, the Niagara River, Lake Erie!, me not asking Google the right questions (again!) and getting another 8 or so unexpected miles, my resting spot.

The Lewiston Bridge.

Part of the gorge.

Similar to the horseshoe on our Mad River, the right side line is more challenging. Not a place to swim. Left side has been also known to offer a beat down to the unwary boater.

Since this is Canada, are they still Canada Geese, or now Canadian Geese?

Ok mostly about the pictures. The Canadian side of the falls is crazy cool. Better views, fewer crowds ( though could be time of year). I spent a good amount of time being awed!.

A wonderful treat for me is that there are a large number of camping areas along the lake. Due to the time of year, it's rarely even crowded. So, I can bike till noon and then decide how far I want to go. 

Today's ride: 78 miles (126 km)
Total: 508 miles (818 km)
