Owen Sound to Tottenham, 156km: Tan coloured fields and mountains of blue



Today turned out to be another wonderful day :) It was a bit of a challenging ride because there were a lot of rolling hills but the wind was in our back and the scenery was amazing. The landscape was full of rolling tan coloured farm fields.

Although there were a lot of hills, the vistas were stunning. In one location it was called the “Blue Mountains” because the rolling hills actually looked blue and in the distance I could see Georgian Bay.


Louise and I stopped in the village of Walter Falls where there was a tiny Farmer’s Market. I bought maple walnut butter tarts for the two of us and they were sooooo yummy!!!! :D

We stopped for a snack in the town of Craigleith where we met Jacques and Alain. The four of us cycled together. When we got to Collingwood we made a wrong turn and got lost but we managed to get ourselves back on track by making a few guesses and asking for directions.

Louise and I left Jacques and Alain when we approached Stayner because we were going to visit Becky at her Mom’s house. Becky’s Mom held a BBQ for the riders which was incredibly nice. I did not stay long because I still had 60km to cycle. Louise was staying with Becky at her Mom’s place and so I cycled to camp on my own.

The remainder of the route took me through some lovely county roads. I had a fun time cycling on my own, navigating myself to camp. All in all, it was another awesome day and tomorrow I would be sleeping in as it was a rest day :)
