You are exactly right - we are sight seeing.

That is why I indicated frequent stops to warn anyone interested in joining us. This tour is at a slow pace with time for photos and checking out the area...

Anyone is welcome to take in a day of sight seeing on their bikes with us. Bring your cameras.

Our journey to Kawartha Lakes.

Ok I'll admit the route was not planned to the tee but here are but a few of the hundreds of pictures we took along the way...

After a big breakfast and a glance at the map we headed out on our adventure.

We were in the country air in a matter of minutes and headed north on Brock Road.

We passed through farm land and stopped to take lots of pictures...

In Port Perry we checked out the harbour and farmers market. And met some of the "Still in the Game Riders" from the previous week's ride which took us to Prince Edward County (Picton).

After a long hot day sight seeing we looked forward to being in our cool refreshing pool.

The ride to the Kawarthas was great. 300 km in 12 hours. So we like to sight see.

Anyone for "Playing Hookey Ride" on Wednesday July 20? Scarborough (east) to south shore of lake Simcoe?

Seabreeze I love your pics!!! Looks like so much fun and the food looked great!!!

We did amazing at the regatta, came in first in A division conselation and got gold medals and a trophy. We were being beat to and our coach who is also the cox started yelling " how bad do you want this" and "get me the **** out of here" and we powered up and got the **** out of there:D

Hit up a bar after and we drank beer out of the trophy;)
 
Sweet, congrats! Beer always tastes better out of a trophy!
