On the July holiday long weekend, James Prisiak and I did a marathon ride through Ontario’s Kawartha Lakes. We left Burleigh Falls at 9 AM and got back there at 6:30 PM after riding seven major lakes and connectors on the famous Trent Severn Waterway. Whew! That’s 7 hours of actual running time, with 2 hours for lunch, lock thrus and other breaks. What a great ride, and not a cloud in the sky! As the first really great weekend of summer weatherwise, boaters were out in full force. Here are a few photos of our day trip – enjoy. Talk to you next time! Craig Nicholson, The Intrepid Cottager
