The pictures are from Ron and me and in the sequence from each camera.
We started the day in drizzle and some rain. We used the road and the cycle path, unfortunately on the path Ron collected a flint, the first of the three flats on this trip. By the time we reached Niagara Falls the drizzle had given way to a much brighter day.

I had not figured out how to handle the weight on the Grasshopper and Ron was helping stabilise the bike until I was astride. This led to a few nerve racking moments loosing the balance and dropping the bike on the panniers.

Crossing the Queenston, Lewiston Bridge was interesting and involved a 3Km diversion to find an entrance to the highway. After the border crossing it was a mildly hilly ride to Lockport and our rest stop for the night.
