Mattawa to Seney

I managed to get in a 600 km day as I rode from Mattawa, ON to Seney, MI. I had overcast skies all day and as I approached Sault Ste Marie it appeared to be raining ahead. The roads had been wet for about two hours already as I must have been riding just behind the rain all day. I finally stopped and put on rain gear as a precaution, but it turned out to be unnecessary. I crossed the border and shortly afterwards the skies cleared giving me a nice late afternoon ride through colorful countryside. The shadows were getting long and the sun was in my eyes so I stopped about 45 minutes before sunset at a small town named Seney. Got a cheap motel room that is actually quite nice and went to the local pub for a bite to eat.

I have about 1,600 miles to go so if I break it into 400 mile days I should be around Grand Rapids Minnesota, then Williston North Dakota, then Shelby Montana, then home on Saturday. I may make a couple of longer days though as I would like to get home in time to see Lucille before she leaves for a few days in Grande Prairie late Saturday.
