Putting Bromptons to the test
Today’s plan was to get an early start in cooler temperature and maybe take advantage of the wind that we battled the previous day. The latter was not to happen. Stéphan served us a wonderful breakfast with a choice of Continue reading And back to Brockville
I’m convinced that one needs the same amount of gear whether it’s a two day trip or a cross-country excursion. After parking at Betty’s park n bike, we headed out in search of the Waterfront trail. Speaking of Betty she Continue reading Sherpa
Another nice ride along the Waterfront trail brought us to Guildwood Station where we will catch a train to Brockville. So nice breaking up the usual nine-hour trip into smaller segments. We arrive in Brockville, find the Tait’s Bakery and Continue reading Brockville Merrickville Home
