South as we can go

From Grand bend we made our way through farm country to bothwell and then headed towards Chatham alongside the Thames river looking for a campground. It never showed up. We ended up 10 km south of Chatham at Wilson conservation area. That was a 130 km day into light winds, we slept in and had our latest start yet of 10:30am.

What was suppose to be a light 50 km day to Wheatley turned into a really tough ride through windmill alley straight into 30km winds while on loose gravel roads. That was a test. We arrived around 4pm, did laundry, shopped for dinner and headed for camp where the first order of business was a refreshing dip in Lake Erie.

We decided to camp 2 nights at Wheatley and ride to pt. Pelee for a light day. Maybe 40 km after a detour to leamington.
