I really love my city here in Thunder Bay. While I hear about people going on trips to Cancun, or cruises, or telling me how much better the focaccia is in Italy or the baguettes in Nice ... sigh. There's so much beauty here to behold.
A good friend, and client, Kerry Berlinquette with Destination Thunder Bay provided a great opportunity to see those delights the other day. On June 21st, the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, National Indigenous People's Day ... there's no real reason to be locked up indoors.
See, one of Kerry's 'fun herders', Jeremy, has made it a tradition of his to be out biking all day on the longest day of the year. This year Kerry thought to see if it could be developed into some sort of activity and asked for volunteers to join them on #AllDayOutside. I volunteered. I think I missed the fact that all day, meant sun up to sun down. Sun rises around 5:45am these days.
Oi... Plus Jeremy had come up with about a 40km ride. At first I thought it was scary, but over a full day, it should be okay... right?
I'll let the photos tell the story. It was awesome. Plus gave me some chance to buy some gadgets for my bike (new little pack, gloves, bottle holder, etc...)
My Google Maps says approximately 34km, but my Google Fit said about 56km. Not sure which is more correct.
