note from Kingston


I'm planning to ride today from Kingston to Newboro Lake on Rt 10.

I'm making the 45 mile detour to see my Ottawa friends Chris and Mary. I met Chris a couple of years ago when I was surfing the web for a cottage in the Rideau Lakes area. We subsequently met and found we had a lot in common, so we have gotten together several times since in Ottawa.

Newboro Lake is the epitome of the north woods lake.

The water is clear and cool and there are loons every evening.

From Chris and Mary's cottage, I intend to ride tomorrow to Westport, then across to Delta and down to Gananoque.

The narrow, winding roads have no shoulders. There are some very steep hills. And, the last few miles off the road to the cottage is utterly unimproved. There is no pavement, and plenty of loose sand on very steep hills. Another issue with that route is lodging. I have no idea what's out there. And, lastly, I don't expect to have an opportunity to update the website.
