Subject: And yet another break... This one was deserved!
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2004 13:21:49 -0400

I get the feeling the further into Northern Ontario I get, the more it wants 
me to give up.... But HAH!!! We'll just see who gets the better of who! I 
made it from Sudbury to Marathon in 5 days. That's just about 750KM. I could 
of continued today but decided to take my break here instead of in Red Rock 
which is my next destination. I should be in and maybe past Thunder Bay in 
two days.Just a few short stats for those who want to keep track of my route 
and where I stopped.

Sudbury On. - 9Km past Spanish On.
Distance 142.67Km
Time 6.15.21

9Km past Spanish On. - Sault Saint-Marie On.
Distance 171.14Km
Time 6.45.32

Sault Saint-Marie On. - Agawa Camp Grounds On. (Lake Superior Provincial 
Park)
Distance 154.57Km
Time 6.54.14

Agawa Camp Grounds On. (Lake Superior Provincial Park) - 20Km Past Wawa On.
Distance 118.55Km
Time 5.09.49

20Km Past Wawa On. - Marathon On.
Distance 172.25Km
Time 8.01.01

Some of those days such as Lac Superior Provincial Park and the ride to 
Marathon were incredibly hard rides. One for the hills (Tu avais raison 
Richard... Les cote a la riviere Montreal sont tough!) and the other for 
really strong head wind. But in 5 days I've managed to make more mileage 
then I did in 6 days the first week (about 50Km more!) If this trend keeps 
up, I just might make it in time to catch my train ride in time :)

In any case, I got to head back to camp and get dinner ready (See mom.... I 
am eating :p )
I'll see if I can write again when I get to Thunder Bay.

Till Then... Wish me LOTS of wind at my back.

Leo - Felicitation!!! I always new it would be a girl. I could not see you 
with anything less LOL Let me know how things go with the apartment and 
all...

Steph - If anyone else wants news of my trip... Just give me their address 
and I'll add them to my list (Luc for example). As for the Pics... I still 
have yet to find a place that will allow me to download them to the net. 
I'll keep trying however.

Mylaine - I'd like to know how things are going. Have you been to my place 
yet to look after the fish? Are you getting my E-Mails? Let me know what's 
going on if at all possible.
