Day 40: Port Huron, MI to London, Ontario

They closed the bridge for us. 50 bicycles were escorted over the Bluewater Bridge to Canada, while the traffic was held back. This was to give us room to carry the bikes over the massive 4 ft expansion joints in the bridge, and to help us clear customs as a group. We took the scenic route around Sarnia to see the lake and the bridge. Jeff's mother and Mark's wife and parents - from Ontario - were briefly united with the riders, and brought delicious cakes and pies for the SAG stop. Here, in the photo, we are celebrating 3,000 miles with 3 fingers. Ontario has flat farmland just like Michigan.

Day 39: Birch Run to Port Huron, MI

Today's 90 miles completed the crossing of Michigan. We can see Canada (south, yes, south of us) across the St Clair River and the Blue Water international bridge which we will ride over tomorrow. The waters of Lake Huron are an aquamarine blue, and the beach and waves looked just like the seaside.
