distance cycled: 134 km
time cycling: 6h17
In 2006 I cycled to the shores of lakes
Superior
and Huron.
Given the splendid autumn weather and Sophie and Andrea's visit to Saskatoon
over the long weekend,
I considered cycling to the other two Canadian Great Lakes: Ontario and Erie.
My objectives were simple: explore small towns in southwestern Ontario,
take in the fall colours, and get a bit of fresh air and exercise.

Heading south into Dundas and Hamilton, the route descends the steep
Niagara escarpment.
The cliff must be climbed again upon leaving Hamilton to the west
(on the right horizon, next to the Hamilton skyline).
Lake Ontario can be seen to the left (northeast) of Hamilton.
