On Wednesday, Mike left St. Catherines and headed out, but not alone. He was accompanied by Gerry Irvine, who gave him a place to stay the night before, and his friend Albert. Gerry is 71 and Albert is 73 and both have done lots of touring. Gerry plans to ride across Ohio in a few weeks. Albert during his 70th birthday rode from coast to coast across Canada. Mike said they are an inspiration to him to keep riding. Both of them rode with Mike for 31 miles to lunch. After lunch, Mike headed to Waterdown where he met up with Vern Carter who gave him a place to stay. Vern is the uncle of Judy Mitchell, a former head resident of Johnson.
