Day Five
Day Five of the Great Bicycle Journey to the New York City: Phenomenal day. Reece and I trekked some 101.42 miles all over Ontario, pounding the pavement into submission with our tires. We started in Marine City Michigan and crossed by ferry for $1 apiece, and while doing so happened to meet a lady and her husband who kindly paid for us. On the ferry, she shared that her dad had played football with Vince Lombardi at Fordham University back in the late 30's and was one of the "Seven Blocks of Granite". His name is James Hayes, class of '39. Really cool. Anyway-we covered a lot of miles through Canada, I mooed at a lot of cows we passed, and at one point we got chased down by two giant dogs that we barely outpaced on our bikes at 30 mph. It's been an incredible, awesome, memorable day. Buffalo, we're coming for you.

Good to hear the good report. What no flat tires? I hope the rain slows down for you along the way. Good thing you didn't have a flat tire when the dogs were chasing you.
Wow, what a day! Interesting, the people you meet when traveling! The posted picture would be a nice picture to send to Jack, from Loose Spokes! He'd get a charge out of the post, too. Quite an adventurous day for you two!
