Ontario to Unity

Pancakes for breakfast. Singalong in the kitchen. Rode with Julia. Gravely roads are all of our energy and felt like we were riding in molasses. Dan joined us after lunch. Climbs were hard, but easier than before - healing. 

After lunch we were counting down the miles to the next town for more water, but Ironside had absolutely nothing for us. Luckily, Jay passed us just as I complete lost energy and we all started looking for shade. We ended up in a dried up creek bed under a bridge with Blake and Alex for a 30 minute nap. We soon woke to another group warning of an oncoming thunder storm, so we finally got moving...and found ourselves on another climb. 

We eventually made it to host, where we camped on the lawn of the Unity Community Center. Hung out at the local market. Ate some delicious chilli. Then Christine, Dan, Jay and I left for a laundry adventure. The closest laundromat was not close, so the four of us gave laundry crew the night off and knocked it out. We saw an amazing sunset on our drive, met some folks who were less than happy we were using so many machines, and made it back to bed a bit before 1. 

Tomorrow we'll ride all along the route we took to laundry. Woot.
