Brian and jonno relaxing at black river campground!

while we're split up, I'll try and maintain the blog that keith usually does, despite my lack of irish proverbs...

Last night, after we split up, jon and I biked to a mark beaumont's house, a friend of ours from mcmaster, who also saw us off in tofino! He had offered us eats and a bed, so we had to take him up on that! It was a late dinner, but mark and katie (also a good friend from mac) waited until we got there and we enjoyed steaks on their patio, surrounded by tiki torches. As we were eating, we were joined my john magee, and d-fox (yet again, more good friends from mac), and we caught up over some beverages.
Jon and I had to call it an early night, as we were still pretty tired from hamilton.

This morning, mark threw on the apron, and made us some sweet egg mcmuffins, before we all grabbed our bikes and headed north. John, mark, and darren biked with us to the city limits of scarborough, in the already scorching and muggy s. Ontario weather! It was wicked to have an escort of friends! Thanks a lot guys!
Jon and I were drenched in sweat by the time we stopped for lunch at 1pm (in sunderland I think...). We ate at a bar and grill, anf found shelter just in time, before a big but b reif thunderstorm hit! Lots of lightning, and strong winds. It passed quickly, and we biked in the now cooler weather. We turned north on hwy 169 to gravenhurst, and found a nice campsite on the Black River. The owners of the campsite were very nice, giving us the best site in the park and a donation for the ride! Our campsite is on our own personal island, surrounded by the black river (which was awesome to swim in after a hot day like today). We had the usual canned salt for dinner, and now we'll catch up on some much needed reading and sleep, before heading to camp big canoe (a camp I worked at for a number of years), in bracebridge tomorrow for lunch, and a day off.
