Spent all day riding along the mule path of the canal. We were able to cover some good distance, as the path is smooth and flat. Today I met an 86 year man who was riding his road bike down the path. He turned put to be named John Bird, he has run in 20 something marathons including 3 Boston marathons, up until 1991! After keeping up a good pace for
about half and hour as we rode side by side, he told me that if he was a bit younger he'd love to join us on our ride!
Later that day, we met an older couple from New Zealand, they were both very friendly and eager to chat. He was a former cattle farmer and she grew veggies for the restaurant she owned. They both had great accents!
Later, at the campsite, we met two cycle tourers, Adam and Racheal, they were headed the same direction as us. In the morning, we headed out as a group and met Dad and Rob in Lockport for lunch! It was great to see them! Ev and I decided to finish our day early in Lewiston. The city was having an art fair, so we walked though that for a bit. Tomorrow, we are headed a short distance to the Canadian border! "Canadia" here we come!
