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. Institule holds resolutions meeting Whitechurch — The.
