Another great day of cycling, out of Manitoba and into Ontario.
I left Hadashville at 8:15, stopping about 6 kilometres down the road at Prawda to get breakfast at a gas station. Once finished my coffee, I was back on the bike and made good time. I entered Whiteshell Provincial Park, which was absolutely beautiful.
I had to slow to coasting at one point because several deer decided to cross the highway in front of me!
I detoured from the highway once to West Hawk Lake to get some water, and after that it was just a few more kilometres before I entered Ontario just after 11:00.
With Manitoba behind me, I have now cycled across Alberta (2006), Prince Edward Island (2011), Saskatchewan (2012-2014), British Columbia (2008, 2015, 2016), and Manitoba (2014, 2017)! I was feeling pretty good!
I had now left the prairie long behind, and was cycling through forest and rock.
I reached Kenora shortly after noon.
I was pretty tired, but happy with my speed, and I enjoyed cycling along the Lake of Woods' north shore and through downtown Kenora to get to my motel.
At dinner time I went for a little cycle around downtown Kenora, and along the shore of the lake again.
Obviously summer is a popular time to be on and around Lake of the Woods. I even noticed the Safeway has docks so boaters can do their grocery shopping without having to go far from the water!
I ate at a craft brewery that's done a really nice job taking over a historic fire hall.
