Every few days we stage the cars ahead. One spouse (or partner) will stay with the trikes and the other will drive the vehicle to the next staging point. The SAG vehicle will ferry all the drivers back to the trikes. Over the next few days we ride the trikes towards the staged vehicles.

This means that at most you will need to carry enough cloths on your trike for five nights.

Remember, we will perform the first staging the night before the first day’s ride. ANYTHING you leave behind in the hotel room will need to be carried on your trike the next day. This means that when we leave the hotel to perform the first staging you should be wearing some the clothes you will be wearing on the ride for the next few days. Don’t forget this includes your shoes.

Currently the expectations are:

• Dan & Robyn Hansen will supply the SAG vehicle, a Mercedes Sprinter Crew Van (El Hefe)

• Dana & Carmella Thompson will be driving their RAM Promaster 2500 van the whole way. This means one of them will be driving while the other one trikes (bikes).

• This leaves four vehicles for staging on the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail

  • Gary & Gay Bradford
  • Steve & Cynthia Wade
  • John & Susie Shaddle
  • Hank & Nancy Anderson

• And six vehicles for staging on the P’tit Train du Nord Trail

  • Gary & Gay Bradford
  • Steve & Cynthia Wade
  • John & Susie Shaddle
  • Hank & Nancy Anderson
  • Tony & MaryAnn Teutsch
  • Craig & Sandra Luginbill

We rotate drivers with the SAG vehicle so I need volunteers. I suggest the following to start out with:

• Great Lakes Waterfront Trail

  • Day01 - Gary Bradford
  • Day02 - Robyn Hansen
  • Day03 - Gay Bradford
  • Day04 - Steve Wade
  • Day05 - Rest Day
  • Day06 - Hank Anderson
  • Day07 - John Shaddle
  • Day08 - ??
  • Day09 - ??

  • Day14 - ??

• P’tit Train du Nord Trail

  • Day01 - Steve Wade
  • Day02 - Craig Luginbill
  • Day03 - Tony Teutsch
  • Day04 - Gary Bradford

Everybody will probably end up driving SAG at least two days. I tried to schedule the experienced large vehicle drivers to be driving while the route goes though the bigger cities.

Sometimes people will be sore, or tired, and volunteer to drive SAG the next day to recuperate.

If you have issues with any of the above please be sure to let Gary or I (Dan) know.

I’m still organizing these checklists. I should have them done by Wednesday May 17th.

Below is basically a combination of what we took on the Erie Canal ride (400 miles over 2 weeks) and what I took on the Coast-2-Coast ride (3,000 miles and lots of weather changes over 2 months).

You will not need everything on these lists.

You will need to carry everything with you on the trike for up to five overnights.

EVERYBODY PACKS TOO MUCH

Below are some checklists to jog your memory on things you might think about bringing.

You’ll want to travel as light as possible because you’ll be hauling your trikes and panniers into and out of hotel rooms each night.

The trikes WILL NOT FIT through some older hotel room doors so we have to take everything off the trike we can and two people tilt the trike on it’s side and slide it through the room door.

It will take you 30 minutes after a ride to get your trikes into your rooms. In the morning it will also take you 30 minutes to move the trikes from your room to the parking lot start of ride area.

Organization

I organize all things into categories and pack the categories into separate dry sacks. Each dry sack has some duck tape on the side where I have written the category of stuff that the dry sack contains.

Chances are it will probably rain sometime while we are riding and we’ll have to open our panniers to get rain gear out. You don’t want everything else in your panniers to get wet while getting the rain gear out. Hence, I put everything in dry sacks.

Every piece of clothing I choose is designed to look ok wrinkled and compress really small.

I also use layering to achieve warmth when it gets colder outside.

I’ll also only take basically two pair of clothes. After the day’s riding I’ll shower with my bike clothes and hand wash them with me when I’m showering. I’ll let them hang dry and put the second pair of clothes on. I’ll repeat the day next with the other set of clothes.

Start from:

  Inn by the Falls (Comfort Inn)
  5525 Victoria Ave
  905-374-6040
  King $89.99 CAD
  NO PETS

The hotel is just a couple of blocks from the first trail (Olympic Torch Run Legacy Trail).

We’ll leave the hotel at 9am.

The first half of the day is spent mostly on the Niagara Parkway Recreational Trail which winds along the Niagara River all the way to Lake Ontario.

The scenery should be beautiful. Lots of places to stop and take pictures. I imagine that we’ll only average 6 to 8 mph with all the stops along the Niagara river.

There are three rest stops scheduled all with scenic views of Niagara River:

4.7 miles - Butterfly Conservatory
7.4 miles - Queenston Heights National Historic Site
11.2 miles - Riverview Cellars (Winery)

We’ll eat lunch about the 15 mile mark. It will probably be sometime between 11 and 12 noon.

Little Red Rooster Restaurant

The rest of the day, 17 miles, are on roads. First 7 miles are interior, and the last 10 miles are along Lake Ontario.

Port Dalhousie, at mile 27, has several places we can stop for a break and refreshments. I recommend Lock Street Brewing Company or RIX Bistro.

Then it is just another 5 road miles until we reach the Ramada Beacon Harbourside Hotel which should have fantastic views of the lake.
