The Pedalshift Project 409: Lake Ontario 2025

What was supposed to be a triumphant border crossing and final push from Niagara Falls back to the starting point became something entirely different when family health concerns required an immediate pivot. But sometimes the best laid plans need to be set aside for what actually matters, and day six became about completing the ride in the way it was always meant to end – with a proper beginning and a proper finish, both by bike, both connected to the places and people that made this whole adventure meaningful in the first place.
