Picton, ON to Brighton, ON
We had a delicious breakfast made by Cindy. It was so nice to have a home cooked meal again! She was very generous to accommodate our late checkout since Camille had a late morning call. Once we bid…
Our friendly hosts served us some tasty French toast, pancakes, and eggs in their sunny and charming event hall (they seemed to host many weddings). David, a biker himself, was particularly excited about our trip and wished us a safe journey.
We’d originally planned to bike to New Castle but ultimately decided to cut the route in half since Greg liked the idea of taking it easy, and Camille was still nursing her injuries. We started the day with a beautiful view of Lake Ontario less than a minute from Timber House. We soon arrived in downtown Brighton where we immediately stopped to take care of some chores, namely pizza and laundry. Next stop was the grocery store where a lady in the parking lot offered to bring us home! She was very sweet and talked about her 6-month trip exploring the States.
It was misting most of the day through our rural route to Cobourg. The roads carried very low motor vehicle traffic, and we criss-crossed train tracks over and over. Cobourg overall had a very suburban vibe filled with big box stores and lots of schools. Once we got to our hotel, Camille had her meeting with Bike Delaware that sadly ran into some technical difficulties with the international connection, so she’ll present in December instead. We accidentally had snacks for dinner and did some planning for the next few days.
