The third day of my weekend biking / camping trip to the Waterloo area
with Jen and her parents, Don and Bev. Here's Jen packing up her tent and
sleeping bag. She's always sitting down on the job.

Just about ready to ride out from the park (Laurel Creek Conservation
Area). We packed all our camping stuff in the van and vacated the site
before leaving for our day ride. Here are Bev and me, waiting in the
shade.

Our first major stop today was in St. Jacob's. We locked up the bikes
and went for a walk around town. Jen and I check out the river and the
creek that is diverted from the river to feed the mill (seen in this pic
to the left).

Here's Jen infront of the old silos that were part of the mill. I think
there are shops inside of it now.

After eating lunch by the river diversion, we followed the Trans Canada
Trail out of town. Here's Jen sticking her tongue out at me as we ride
down a gravel road surrounded by farms, fields of corn, etc...

It's not a recumbent bike ride without a picture of my feet! This is
my view of the roads as we rode through Mennonite country.

We stopped in the shade again for a water break. Coincidentally, we were
infront of a bicycle / tricycle shop. They were not open on Sundays, so
it's a good thing we didn't need to go in.

Jen took these pictures of her bike and shadow. It seemed like the sun
was directly overhead.

After looping through Elora, we stopped at a McDonald's to use the
washrooms and check the maps before heading back to Laurel Creek.

We passed the church / cemetary again on the way back to Laurel Creek.
This time the parking lot was full of horses an buggies.

This is the pathway between the Conestoga River and the diversion that
goes to the mill. We rode along here back into St. Jacbob's.

It's a beautiful ride along here. I was loving the open fields and
country riding too, but the shade and water were a nice change!
