My brother and I had only done supported tours in the past, so this fall we decided to try a week long credit card tour. Two weeks ago we started at the western end of Lake Erie (just south of Windsor, Ontario) and rode along the full length of north shore of the lake to St Catherines, Ontario. We covered just under 500km in seven days and had a great time (except for the first four days of headwinds). We really enjoyed this style of touring and are already thinking of a route for a similar trip next summer.
