Today was another beautiful ride. I was getting more and
more excited because tomorrow I would be cycling home! As a result I figured I
needed to look a bit presentable when I saw my family so I decided it was time
for a haircut.
In the town of Nestleton I found a hairdresser and off I
went, abandoning Louise in the face of vanity :) It felt so great to
have my haircut because it was starting to wisp out from my helmet, giving me
the appearance of wings :P
Before Louise and I reached Nestleton we saw Gee and Larry
had stopped at what appeared to be a western themed village called Docville. It
was incredibly random. There was an inn, saloon, post-office, stable, the
works. What was creepy was there was an image of a skeleton in one of the hotel
windows and in an old-fashioned car there was a skeleton in the backseat. We
later found out the individual who owns the place lives in the hotel, drives
around in the car with the skeleton in the back, and hosts Halloween events and
weddings. Interesting place, but definitely weird.
The route took us through the towns of Port Hope and Cobourg
which were lovely. They had signs saying “Welcome Cyclists” which was great to
see. We followed the waterfront trail which was absolutely amazing. The
waterfront trail is such a great cycling route, taking us along Lake Ontario
which was spectacular.
Near the end of the ride, Mike, Louise, and I stopped and
sat on a beach near Wicklow Beach Park. We just sat there for half an hour,
looking out onto Lake Ontario, simply relaxing; at that moment it truly felt
like we were on holiday.
When we reached camped I found out I was not the only one
who thought it was time for a haircut. It was funny because none of us
mentioned that we wanted to get our haircut and yet a group of us decided it
was time on that exact same day...life is funny :)
