Yes, I wear spandex padded butt shorts, July 15

Dryden to Ignace - 110 km

It was really nice to have a shorter day today, its almost like having a rest day. Which we are totally having tomorrow! Wooo, the only thing is that we are in Ignace and there really is not much here. We did find a pretty yummy Chinese restaurant and a campground with WI-FI :o) So things are still pretty good, but the reason for our rest is Brett has two broken spokes and we need a tool that we do not have. So I think we are heading back to Dryden tomorrow to hit up a bike shop that Kelly thinks he might have seen when he was driving around downtown. But I am pretty excited to be spandex free tomorrow! I am still not quite over my phobia of being seen in public wearing spandex, padded butt shorts :o(

Cycling really is a weird sport, however I was really into Equestrian stuff up until last December when I sold my horse :o( and you know Equestrian attire really is not all that cool either. I mean going grocery shopping in riding breeches and boots (complete with spurs) is nearly as humiliating as walking around small towns across Canada wearing cycling shorts. Hmmm... maybe I just have a thing for sports that require odd clothing. Anyhow, I have seven more weeks to get over this or perhaps just realize my need of therapy when I return home. I have had a few experiences on this trip that I have thought ,I might potentially be telling to a therapist someday... this is such an incredible experience though. Whether I require therapy or not at the end of it.
