"she was just (highway) 17 you know what I mean" (John Lennon and Paul McCartney)
Our ride started out well as the roads were okay and sun was shining. Then I made a mistake by following the suggestion of Google maps to take a shortcut that bypassed the Sault. We ended up looking down a dirt path through the woods and had to backtrack and then take the normal busy way around the town. It cost us one to hours or so it seemed. To Gramie's credit she didn't yell at me. Eventually we made to Hy 17B and really moved with the wind; after rejoining Hy 17, we continued to make good time. We stopped at Thessalon for the night. Distance covered today was 155 km.The pictures are from in front of our motels this morning and this evening as well as a plaque marking the midpoint of the Trans-Canada Highway. It's a long way from the longitudinal centre just east of Winnipeg. We met two cyclists going in our direction but they will head south across Manatoulin Island before heading east toward Ottawa.
