On Tuesday I left the motel in Rutland, VT and rode west through the Adirondack Mtns via Hwy 28. Another fantastic place to ride. Winding turns and great views! The highway follows the Hudson River... yes, it comes that far north... for the first part and then comes down the other side of the continental divide where the water flows to the St. Lawrence. When I reached the western end of this drive I turned north to follow Hwy 12 through the dairy area of New York. This road takes you up to Cape Vincent which is on the shores of Lake Ontario. Here I took a small ferry, at a cost of $7.00, to Wolfe Island which is in Canada. They even have customs officers there meeting the ferry after the 10 minute crossing. After riding across the island you take another ferry to Kingston, ON. What a beautiful city this is... I am sure I could have spent a few days there for sure. There are fortresses on the bay which are left over from the early explorer days. The ride along Lake Ontario is wonderful with lots of great scenery. I took route 33 all the way through Prince Edward County complete with another ferry at Glenora taking me through Picton and on to Trenton. Great riding again! I stayed the night at the home of a fellow rider in Trenton.
I got passed by a Ferrari on Hwy 28 with the plate "FLU BYE" :-)
This brings me to Wednesday where I did the ride from Trenton to London, ON via the 401. This is the easiest way to not see Toronto in less than an hour. You ride through TO at 120 kph and you can't even turn your head to see anything. When the sign says slow to 80 for construction, it means nothing... the traffic flow still goes at the speed it was going before. It rained 4 times during this trip so I rode in rain gear for the whole time. When the sun came out it was sauna time... No pictures this day.
