Couple enjoys
bicycle trip
Jeannette Johnston and
Brad diCarlo of Guelph have
discovered the ultimate
method of cutting fuel costs
this holiday season.
The two cyclists stopped in
Wingham for breakfast
Monday morning on the last
leg of a week-long bicycle
trip which took them over
back roads from Lucknow to
Owen Sound and black again.
The only problem. they
encountered on their trip
was the sweltering heat of
the last week. Mr. diCarlo
said they found it necessary
to rest and drink fluids more
often, but added it really
wasn't that bad.
They carried between 40
and 50 pounds of equipment
and camping gear on their
bicycles and usually
averaged up to 50 miles a
day, although in extremely
hot weather it could
sometimes be only half of
that.
Mr. ' diCarlo and. Miss
Johnston agreed that cycling
is a good way to travel. They
stick to the back roads
generally and visit the small
hamlets along the way. For
example, on this trip they
tried to catch a ball game
every night.
Mr: diCarlo added that the
best part about' cycling
across country . is just
meeting and ">talking to
people. He said many people'
approach them and ask
questions about their hobby.
This is the fourth summer
Mr. diCarlo and Miss
Johnston have cycled for a
holiday. They • ha ve gone as
far. as Ottawa, Collingwood
and Lake Erie, but have not
decided where they will go
next year.
