Day 12: Homebound!

Today was the last leg of our journey, as such, it was a bit bitter sweet. On the one hand it marked the end of our vacation, but on the other hand, it's going to be nice to sleep in our own bed tonight. It's been sunny the whole day, a nice bonus considering the relative boredom of riding nearly 700km on a divided highway.

The boredom of this route caught up to us around the Québec and Ontario border where highway 20 turns into the 401. At roughly that point, Cess started feeling pretty tired and sleepy. We made sure to keep chatting on our Scala Rider units until we got to a rest stop just east of Gananoque. There, Cess had a power nap on top of a picnic bench.

The rest of the way went without much incident, however, there were plenty of slowdowns due to long weekend traffic heading into Toronto.  When everything was said and done we had covered nearly 700km over the course of about 10 hours (about 7 hours of that was riding).
