Video: Fixed to Hogtown
Biking from Sudbury to Toronto in October might have been a bad choice, but we did it and we made a video. Thanks to Doug and Matt for being my road pals and for putting this vid together. Also for motivating me when I wanted to bail on day 3.
Enjoy!

5 reasons to love YNOT straps
I picked up some YNOT straps for my Leader and have nothing but love for them. Not only are they amazing foot retention, tight-fitting, easily adjustable and practical—they do lots of other things too:
1. They come in all kinds of fun colors like camo and RAZZLE.
2. They make the install process easy with this video.
3. Local, handmade, innovative, quality products from a team of super solid people.
4. They make lots of other things like bags, u-lock holsters, laptop sleeves and more.
5. They team up with OTHER local businesses to sell fun products.
BONUS REASON: Best of all, they’re made of fabric so they don’t ruin your shoes!!
Buy YNOT straps online or at lots of shops worldwide. Or drop by their office at 500 Keele St. (unit 102) and pick them up IRL.

Day 3 and we finally got the campfire (and s’mores) that I’ve been dreaming about. Lots of hill climbing today and a pretty intense headwind that did not let up.
Currently we’re in a tent in South Baymouth. We left Little Current around noon and rode 70kms. When we pulled into South Baymouth I nearly died of stokedness. There was a diner serving thanksgiving dinner (again). The squash was grown in their garden and the pie was ridiculous. Then we learned there’s a *free* municipal campground across the street with lots and fire pits. We’re definitely hitting up Carol & Earl’s Diner again in the morning for a greasy breakfast first thing in the AM and then getting on the Tobermory ferry for 11.
The ferry is 46kms and 2 hours long so we won’t get much cycling in tomorrow but I’m ok with that. My body is starting to hate me. Doug & Matt are champs.
