in Toronto

Ok so now I'm at one of the computers in the hostel that I'm staying at here in Toronto Ontario. I arrived in Toronto yesterday.

Quick update on my trip so far(only got 30mins of internet time):

Kye, Johnny, and myself made it to Montreal in three days!

Day one we rode to Albany NY. This was a very long day with lots of hills/mountains, looking back on it this was geographically the hardest day for us, but thankfully it was the first day, and we or at least I was well rested. We did about 159 miles that day, the longest I've ever done in a day. I stayed at a cheap hotel in Albany, while Kye & Johnny camped just outside of Albany (long story as to why we didn't just share a hotel room).

Day two we rode up to Burlington Vermont to meet up with Jacobs who was riding from Boston. I knew we were going to meet up with Jacobs, but I didn't know we were going to Vermont to do so, although this wasn't really that far off course, it's right near the NY boarder, and now I can say I rode my bike to VT as well. As far as the riding went, well it was another long day on the bike. less severe climbs, but still and all day event. We got a little loss in Burlington as we were trying to find the hotel. Oh and Kye got chased by a big dog, was kinda funny actually.

Day three was the ride across the border into Canada and into Montreal. We crossed the border in New York next to the border of Vermont. I expected to see guys there with big machine guns asking to cheek all of our stuff, but the border crossing was rather uneventful, which was fine by me. Oh and the roads in Montreal suck, I got two flats on a section of Highway that we probably shouldn't have been traveling on by bike, but it was the fastest way to get to the bar that we had to get to, for the meet up with the messengers in Montréal.

gotta go more update when I can, including the ride from Montreal to Toronto.
