Jun 21 - Mine Centre to Quetico Provincial Park 126km

Gary checking out the activity options at Quetico Provincial Park.

In lieu of showers that were being repaired at the campsite, the guys were given a secluded campsite beside a warm(ish) lake where a cooling swim and soak were welcome at the end of a 'short' ride day. Gary described the days ride as rolling hills (I think that language has been borrowed from the Centennial Riders parlance) with 8 to 10 short, sharp hills (think Orchard Ave only longer). Places to eat have become a scarce commodity in the last couple of days. For example they had to go about 60km to Atikokan to find a place for breakfast so they are stocking up on carry-along food now just in case. Tomorrow they will backtrack 6 km to get breakfast before pushing on for a long day (170km) in the hopes of making Thunderbay by nightfall.
