I will be taking a little break from updating the blog. I need to focus on getting home in a safe but timely manner while also trying to soak in the last days of my trip. I guess a little me time if that makes any sense. So, this day and any others will be…
Short and sweet as they say about visits that last only 2 nights and really one day. My day of course began way before “normal” people awake from their restful sleep. This is what most people miss when I am up… The sun rising!
Day 18 of my X Country trip was spent mainly at MAX BMW in Brookfield, CT. I needed a 20,000 KM service but decided to wait until I get home to have the valves inspected on my bike. Cool dealer, they have loads of classic bikes on the show room floor as well as all…
I left my parents house around 1600 hrs yesterday to only ride to the Port Jeff/Bridgeport Ferry over to Connecticut. I wanted to get close to MAX BMW in Brookfield, CT and be able to ride another short distance in the morning to be there when they opened. While in Stony Brook I got to…
Day 16-Will be sad to leave LI but did manage to see most of my family who are mainly camera shy except mom and dad My family really doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of riding long distances to not only clear the head but just for the utter enjoyment of touring. Doesn’t matter though…it’s…
Heading out to Montauk Point, Long Island today. Weather beautiful, warm, sunny and a great day for a ride. Meeting a new friend from the virtual world and riding with an old friend from when I was a kid. The three of us out for a leisurely ride east on Long Island. Pics later…
First half of my trip mileage = Maple Ridge, BC to Long Island, New York is 7145 KM’s or 4,439 Miles. Gas mileage due to the x and head winds heading east was not that great. 5.1 L/100 Km’s. A little over 300 Km’s per tank. Heading west I should get much better mileage. What…
After I left a really sunny, HOT Washington DC, I went north to Philly. Still warm all the way up until about 120 KM’s outside Philadelphia. I noticed the temperature dropping from 35, 30, 20, 15, 12 C. I saw the skies darken which can only mean one thing…another Spring Storm. I sort of knew…
After spending 2 nights and day at my brother’s families house in NC and a night at my old friend’s house in Williamsburg, VA, I left the south to head north to Philadelphia, PA to visit the REVZILLA relatively new store in Philly by the old Navy yard. I went to Colonial Williamsburg on my…
Stopped off for breakfast at T&N in Philly before heading over to Revzilla for a visit.
Day 11 = 571 Km’s – Matthews, NC – Wiliamsburg, VA Got your attention didn’t I? I stop at McD’s for wifi, bathroom breaks etc. Yesterday I actually got a quarter pounder, some calories, fat and food. Still feel as though I am not eating enough but seems like I am always snacking. I leave…
I was able to take two nights off and use a day to replenish some items I needed for the trip back , like get a new camping stove. I broke my other one days ago. Now I can get back to at least boiling water when I want and need to.
Day 8-635.4 KM’s Day 9-739.6 Km’s I have arrived on the east coast of the USA in North Carolina yesterday, May 25th. Took me 9 days to get here with a lot of boring pavement riding yet I was not really bored.
