From Long Beach, we proceeded Lowbanks on Lake Erie, then followed the road east to the Niagara River and eventually into camp. As it turned out, we were able to reconnect with the rest of our team at a lookout point about a km away from the finish line, which allowed us to cycle across the line en masse.
The final few metres of the route takes you down a chute, with fences on either side and thousands of people cheering you on. It's quite stirring to be surrounded by so many smiling faces and to see that the weekend's labours are almost at a close.
As we crossed the line, I heard the announcer call out that the Bloor West Village Idiots had finished the route. We came to a quick stop and found ourselves surrounded by friends and family.
