First day of my first ever cycling trip is finally here! My friend Kochi and I are biking around lake Ontario over the next 8 days.
Took a fair bit of time figuring out what to pack but managed to get everything in my pannier bags. Weight of both bags together was about 24 lbs which isn't too bad.
This morning at about 9 am we headed out. It was nice and sunny and warm.
Morning ride went great, nice easy rolling with a slight tail wind. Stopped in Georgetown for lunch.
After lunch it was getting really warm, but not bad while riding. Went through a nice little town called Klienburg, where a couple of weddings were going on. After Klienburg the roads seemed to get really hilly and the legs started to feel it.
The last little bit into Richmond Hill was pretty busy with lots of traffic, not so fun.
We found our luxury hotel.. Travel lodge... after about 139 km and a little over 6 hours on the bike. Was a pretty relaxed paced today which was probably a good way to start!
Great day all around!
