Day 41 London to Brantford, Ontario

Today started out slow, with headwinds and rainy, finished with sunshine.  We had overcast skies and drizzle as we loaded luggage onto the truck and left the hotel.  It never rained, just high humidity and damp to make things uncomfortable.  5 mi into the ride we shed our raincoats and just road.  Very generic farm country along the route.  We could have been nearly anywhere except for the Canadian flags.  Flat country and lots of corn.  We saw a few tobacco fields and several ginseng fields.  Not much else.  Yes, it is getting very old looking at green crops. 
We had a guest rider, her name is Louise.  She was riding from London to Cambridge, about 85 miles.  Louise and her husband drove from Cambridge to London and he was going to a radio controlled boat meet and she was riding her bike back home.  We rode together nearly all day.

Today was pretty much just grind it out and get done.  Tomorrow Sunday, we cross back into the US at Niagara Falls.  The crossing is at the end of the day so it will be individual riders checking in at US customs and immigration.
Monday is a rest day,  Finally.  Tues starts the home stretch of 7 days 546 miles.
I am ready for a rest day
