Brockville, ON to Kingston, ON
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…
We had sweet potato and peanut butter wraps for breakfast before Camille’s afternoon work call. We got on the road a little later and linked up with the apple orchard-lined route. Unfortunately, we couldn’t stop at every one, so we slowed down at Wynn Farms. A FedEx driver in front of us had the same idea and was ahead of us in line. He was excited to hear about our trip and wished he had more time to bike himself. He bid us adieu saying, “see you on the road,” as he left with a jug of cider. We picked up some jams at the stand and went on our way. Sure enough, we passed that driver (now heading in the other direction) from the apple farm just a few miles later!
We then stopped at a nice lookout spot for some views of Lake Ontario. Further along the route, we got a much closer look since we had to take a ferry across a 1-kilometer gap in the road from Adolphustown to Glenora. The 15-minute trip landed us in Prince Edward County, a charming area that was winding down from the peak tourist season.
We soon approached Picton which felt like a summer beach town, but we didn't see any beaches. Maybe they were hiding. What we did find was even better: ice cream sandwiches! Just past downtown, Cindy’s Bed & Breakfast made us welcome. The home and host were so nice and warm! Even Sophie the dog was eager to make friends with us. Ending the evening cozy indoors, Camille worked on her project for Bike Delaware, a non-profit near home, and Greg did some research into our continuing routes and next stops.
