Thursday, July 17th

Leamington, Ontario to Fremont, Ohio

64-miles, on flat terrain and mostly a tailwind

Up early and since there was no place for breakfast started touring the island. Started with the lighthouse, which included at least a 1/4 miles hike each way. The view was very impressive and one of the highlights of the island. Next up was breakfast at the local bakery, can't remember the last time I had something from a bakery, but I had a coconut pastry that words cannot give justice.

Next up was the local winery, sorry dear I didn't buy anything. The wines were pretty good and the ground even better. Finished our time on the island with lunch at a local diner that served an amazing wrap.

Ferry left Pelee Island at 1:00pm, but we managed to get 20-miles on the island before departure.

Got back in the US soil at 3:00 pm and had 62-miles to make our destination. With about 20-miles to go we called the campground to find out they did not have showers. So we opted to stop in Fremont and cut our day little short.

Leaving Clyde we picked up a rail trail into Fremont. This was the best rail trail I have ever rode on. If you are in the area it is something to check out.

We made the hotel about 7:30pm, picked up a 6-pack  ordered a pizza, then called it a day.
