Day 12 11/07/09 Niagara Falls > Simcoe, ON 68 miles

So after the bliss that was the rest day in Niagara falls we made our way out of the city facing miles of flat roads. We knew we were going to have a headwind and the forecast didnt look good but we had no clue of what lay ahead. The day started overcast but dry and we made good time getting in 13 miles in under an hour. Then the thunderstorm hit, we donned our wet weather gear and headed into it. Made the decision to find cover as the lightning was coming our way and getting a little bit too close for our liking. By the time we were under the shelter off somones front porch the thunderstorm was right over us and a bolt of lightning hit a metal gate post about 20 metres away. SCARY BUSINESS! We let it pass got back on and rode. The headwind, rain and narrow yet busy roads really questioned our morale as we made our way west along the highway 3. At the end of the day we were exhauseted and wet so decided to get a motel for the evening and popped out to an italian/canadian restaurant to get some pasta! First pasta in ages. Lovely jubbly! Roll on tomorrow!
