Today's forecast called for a high of 29C. With the heat and the usual southbound cottage traffic against us, we decided to leave as early as possible. We woke up shortly after 6am and departed the Stevenson Lodge at 7:20. The early morning was still a little cool and there was even a coat of fog over the river and the surrounding area.
Morning fog in Combermere.
We followed Jim & Sandy for the first 2km of the ride but then we split up at Highway 62 and we'd have to ride the next 405km on our own. The fog lifted as soon as we left Combermere and the sky was clear for the duration of the ride.
We made a quick stop in Bancroft for gas and then continued home. We made another quick stop along Monck Road but otherwise we didn't stop until we reached the Midhurst Coffee Shop at 10:40am for our traditional Victoria Day lunch.

Similarly, after lunch, we fueled up in Angus, made another quick stop in Grand Valley and reached home at 2pm, just under 7 hours after leaving Combermere. The focus will now turn to getting back into everyday life rhythm.
