Toronto and points east towards Montreal

Thu 7/7:
64 mile ride to Cambridge, a Toronto exurb.  Lots of shopping centers / big box stores, etc.

Fri 7/8:
Took the bus to Toronto.  Streets in the urban areas (from Brampton to center city) are Bike-Hostile.  

Restroom at Lunch

This left most of the day free to do some errands:

Needs haircut
Gets haircut

and, of course, good eats:

Cheap eats:  $12.35 including tax and tip






Then Dessert at Summer's Ice Cream



Sat. 7/9 - 7/10    Ride to Brighton, then Napanee.
Nice little town between Toronto and Kingston.  Strange motel (Presqu'Ile Beach Motel), dumpy on the outside, but the room was nice, clean and comfortable with full kitchen.  John, the owner, takes cash only.    
Good restaurant:  The Gables
Rack of Lamb
While at breakfast, a few miles down the road, I discovered that I had left my reading glasses in the room.  I called John, and he found them, then drove down to the restaurant to deliver them.  Bought him coffee and we had a nice chat before heading out for Napanee.

Sun 7/11 - Ride to Perth
70 mile ride with 1 big steep hill about 3/4 of the way (After Westport).  

Mon 7/12 - To Ottawa
55 Miles, mostly flat, but Google routed me onto dirt road for a few miles.  
Nice dinner 

Mon 7/13 - Layover in Hawkesbury... dodging thunderstorms all day.
