A 190 mile ride on a two lane road, rain (heavy at times), wind...another perfect day to ride!
The road between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie is a beautiful road. Two lanes which meander through and over mountains of forests, lakes, lagoons, rivers and marshland. The lakes were all black bottomed, mostly consumed by water plants which rose above the water leaving the elusion that streams were cutting back and forth, snaking through the plants. Everything was green. As we were riding, we had to look out for the wildlife (which we didn't see today), and had to be particularly careful due to the rain and wind. Sault Ste. Marie was not much to see. An older town, with older hotels, with few restaurants in the area. It is one of those cities where nothing seems close to anything else. We ended up eating pizza at the pub next to the hotel. Great pizza, but the pub lacked a little in ambience.
