We spent the last night at the Lincoln Motel in N.B. We sat around drinking for a couple of hours and decided to go for dinner at 9:00. Neil decided to do some recon at a restaurant down the road on the advice of the motel owner, Mrs. Patel. Turns out he went to a different one than suggested... no problem. He was befriended by the owner as soon as he walked in the door... Anyway, he came back pretty excited about the place so we all walked down. The place was empty except for the owner, who was loudly discussing whether he should be firing a waitress, and a lovely server/bartender who was very attentive but couldn't make a Pornstar to save her life. The food was really good though! And they had good tequila! The last night on the road ended as it should and with none of us considering the 7:15 am alarm.
As mentioned earlier, this morning was hot and humid.
We got back to Oshawa at 3:30 after riding in the hottest day of the year! 38 deg and humid! It was an easy ride with little traffic when we left North Bay at 9:00 am. but the temperature was climbing as the morning went on. We turned east at Hunstville and then south on 35 at Dwight. We had a great ride through the twisties at the north end. The traffic was a bit heavier until we were south of Dorset. During the rest of the trip we were in heat survival mode. Stops for re-hydration and cooling shade were absolutely necessary. We got to Glenn's house at 2:45 and carried on to Oshawa. Even though we cut it short by a day, this was a great trip! Having Jacquie along was great for Neil (and me) as a shotgun passenger and she took some amazing pictures and video from a perspective we've never had before. All of us experienced new roads, had lots of fun but we all agree that we've beat Ontario to death. Back to the U.S. next year!
More photos will be posted tomorrow.
Thanks for following!
