After a good sleep in the woods outside the local Cemetery, we had a terrible A & W breakfast. I started trying to record through photos all the food I eat in one day, but soon lost track – when starving, who has time to take a picture before devouring?
The flies have been bad these last few days. I learnt back in Saskatchewan that you have to be riding at 30 km/h to outrun a fly – today at one point when the flies were particularly annoying, I looked down at my odometer – 9km/h. Darn, outrunning is not going to happen.
Wawa is a town that is all about the Canada Goose – the name Wawa comes from the Objibwe word for Wild Goose – wewe. There is a 28-foot goose at the tourist info centre welcoming you into town and a few other statues scattered about town.
Our first night in Wawa we camped in the woods – and were spotted by a man walking his dog (who we re-met in Tim Hortons the next morning). The second night we got a campsite and shared it with Dan – another cyclist – who is riding his fixed-gear to Vancouver to continue his work as a bike courier. If you do not know what a fixed-gear is – well I don’t really either – but it means that climbing hills is hard because you cannot gear down! Yikes.
