Greg & Camille Go Bike

We departed the seaside city through winding residential streets and back onto local roads, enjoying our last views of the St Lawrence River as our route transitioned to Lake Ontario along a 20-mile dedicated bike trail. So many tiny islands peaked out (just barely) of the river and often with just enough surface to fit one house on them! How do they not flood?!

We soon arrived in downtown Kingston, a fairly populous city with a lot of character, and took in the waterside view before moving on. We picked up more of our new favorite fruit bars (Sunrype) and some ice cream (mango and chikoo) for some well-earned carbs. 

The end of our day’s route took us on off-road trails near the Kingston airport. We were shocked to come across a flock of turkeys right in our path! They were completely unafraid, and perfectly content to commune around us. A father-son biking duo shortly joined us for a chat while in queue. The dad talked about his own ambitions of bike touring and shared that his son had done a lap around Lake Ontario. We soon had to shoo the turkeys away to continue on. A few miles later, we arrived just outside Kingston for a restful night.
