From Flint to Quebec - Viva la contrast1

7/12 - Ride from Midland to Flint, MI.  Midland is home to Dow Chemical, and is pretty much a company town.  Flint was home long ago to Buick and other GM plants.  It's a hollowed out shell that GM abandoned... left behind decades of pollution.  It's a pretty depressing city. 

7/13 - Left the sadness behind and entered Canada by being driven across the Bluewater bridge (not allowed to ride bicycle on bridge) by the Michigan bridge patrol.  This is a service they provide to bicyclists who are going to Canada for more than just a day ride.  If you were just going for a short jaunt, you would have to go down to Marine City and catch a ferry across the Detroit river.  Picked up a Canadian SIM card and proceeded to London.
7/14 - Pleasant ride to London.  Stayed downtown near the university.
7/15 - Brantford -
