Dundas -> Woodstock

29 June 2011

Tagged as: , ,

I woke up to the smell of pancakes which Sybil had prepared the batter for and Harold was busy cooking up. She had left while I was still in bed and C was in the shower so unfortunately we neither got to thank her for her hospitality nor say goodbye. After pancakes I spotted Harold [...]

Niagara -> Dundas

Rob had originally planned to take us to his local breakfast place but it turned out that it had more than doubled in price from 99c to 1.99 over the past 12 months. Instead he cooked up some delicious bacon and eggs to fuel us on our way. As we had turned up later than [...]

A night in Niagara

26 June 2011

Tagged as: , , ,

We decided to walk to the falls as Rob only lived about a mile away and we weren’t sure how easy it’d be for us to look after our bikes. The change in pace was enjoyable and. after popping in to a tourist information office where we learnt about all the things we could do, [...]

Tampa, Florida, USA -> Niagara, ON, Canada

26 June 2011

This is just a quick summary of our ride from Tampa up to Niagara. I’m not sure how often we’ll do them but it seems a good plan. The original idea had been to do one for every state, but.. we didn’t. Favourite supermarket – Publix – Free coffee and good feel give it a [...]

Even though we’d gone to bed well past midnight, we were up at around 8 to get the early bird special at a local diner that stopped at 9. Patrick drove us over and we had the vegetarion option of lentils, homefries and toast which was an interesting change. After breakfast we hit up Paula’s, [...]

Britishness in Buffalo

We got to Joe’s and were met by a sensational response. While I was busy taking things off the bikes and moving them to somewhere C was met by Joe who took her inside to his mum who lived downstairs from him. C, in her typically British way, apologised for her still somewhat teary state. [...]

Springville -> Buffalo

Tagged as: , , ,

Having another pretty short day ahead of us I decided to sleep in until 9. It was glorious to wake up in a motel room and not have to worry about any kind of cleaning up after myself. C had been up for a while reading wikipedia for even more things to do in Buffalo [...]

Searchin’ in Springville

24 June 2011

Tagged as: , , , ,

We made it in to Springville and tried to work out how we’d find somewhere to stay. The fire station and sheriff’s office were in the middle of town but there were a lot of churches on the way in so we figured we’d see if we could get lucky like we had in McClellanville [...]

Houghton -> Springville

24 June 2011

Tagged as: , ,

A relaxing morning was what the doctor called for and so we hung out at Sarah + Graham’s place. We had arranged to head over to Houghton College to meet Graham for the buffet breakfast, which at staff rates would be a great start to the day. We arrived only to find that we had [...]

Wellsville -> Houghton

23 June 2011

We had definitely got more used to sleeping while camping as, even though there was a thunder storm, I only woke up once. The biggest downside was that I hadn’t closed the entrance properly, so the things I’d put in my porch area got pretty wet. It also meant that we had damp tents and [...]

Galeton -> Wellsville

Gun ownership is something that I’ve touched on in the blog before. Seeing bullets for sale in Walmart does take some getting used to, as does people asking if you’re packing (aka carrying a gun). After Brenda had gone to work, Joshua showed us his collection. Most of what he was saying was over my [...]

Wellsboro -> Galeton

Just after waking up, C came into the room and told me that we needed to pack. I looked at her in confusion and pointed out that we didn’t because I had arranged for us to stay with Chris for 2 nights. Apparently I was mistaken. Chris had mentioned the night before that he was [...]
