Bike Train Redux

You know how it is when you are going on a trip. You are desperate to get going you don't want to miss the train. You start to get a little on edge with your partner because they don't seem to be moving as fast as you would like them to be moving. At these times you can start to get testy and a little cranky.
Oh well it would have been nice to be able to know that the train is going to be late. Which was what was happening with us on our way to Niagara Falls.

yes we scrambled and cajohled each other to the brink to only find that the train was going to be an hour late! Doh!

However the friendly people at VIA were kind enough to give us some free sandwiches and chips to make up for it. More then I ever got from that other train line that I have to take from time to time.

this is the second time I have been on the bike train. The first time was when I went off to NorthBay. That was funand I am hoping, actually I am knowing that this time will be just as good as that trip.

our plan is to get off in Niagara Falls and ride south to Fort Erie and our final destination is Crystal Beach for the day. Tomorrow we will be heading to niagara on the lake with some stops in between. All in all the trip should be around 140 kilometres. But right now we are enjoying the train trip. I love trains almost as much as I love biking.
