Cross Canada cyclist bottleneck

A lot has happened riding around Lake Superior. Here's the summary.
I left Thunder Bay on my own as planned and rode to Nipigon on the first day. After camping in a field (with permission) I awoke to found I was basically on an ant hill. So a quick removal of a couple hundred ants from my food bag later, I went into town for a cheap breakfast. This is where I ran into Darren and Sebastien. They were just leaving after having taken an unexpected day off. Some locals took them out sailing and 4x4'ing for the day. So I rode that day and the next still on my own. As I rode into Terrace Bay on that 3rd day I heard some yells directed at me as I rode by the campground, so I turned around and came in. It was some other cyclists, two of them loaded with gear and one on a supported trip. The two self supported riders are two young girls from Quebec; Josianne and Andree. They started in Quebec, rode east through the maritimes, flew to Vancouver and are on their way back home. These girls are full of energy and enjoying every minute of their trip. They have been riding loosely on the same schedule as the Tour de Canada, a supported group ride across the country. So they were all at this same campsite and I was invited to join them for some riding over the next couple days. The Tour de Canada has a truck that transports all the cyclist's gear from camp to camp so the riders get to travel unloaded. As a result, they travel fast. I got onto the french girls' schedule of waking up crazy early and getting a big head start, and then getting in late after the Tour at the same camp. On the second day, after riding 40+ km into White River, who do we run into just gettting ready to ride? Sebastien. He and Darren parted ways the day before. After much rejoicing of meeting up yet again, we became a unit of 4. We had a lot of fun riding together that day and made it to Wawa that night. We rode together, along with the Tour for another day still and then I let them go on ahead. Again, it was a lot of fun riding with other people, but the crowd was a little large for my liking. I will see Sebastien along the way again and hopefully get to visit the girls in Quebec city when I go through there. Best of luck!
Oh, almost forgot to mention. In Wawa, we also ran into a couple from BC riding across the country to raise money for AIDS. Here is a link to their website. http://bikeacrosscanada.ca
The girls also have a website and are raising money for a non profit organization in Quebec.

Safe travels Sebastien, Andree, Josianne, Jason, Kylie, and all the Tour de Canada crew!

Here is a picture of Sebastien, Josianne, Andree and some curious tourists as we have lunch at the Lake Superior Provincial Park information center.
Ok, I can't get that picture to upload. I will try again later.
