We had a great nights sleep which was good….we had 4-5 hours of riding today if we were going to make it to the Big Smoke, which is what we were going to attempt to do.
After a nice breakfast, we packed and loaded the bikes ready to hit the Big 401 again. This time we put together our route, right down to getting to our stop for the night.
After spending almost a couple of hours on the 401, we moved off the speedway to Route 62 at Belleville heading for the TCH 7. At the intersection of 62/7 we stopped for lunch and a bum break.
As we hit the TCH 7, Larry and I both noted we would be hitting some milestones….his came first, just as we started up the 7…..139,000 kms on his bike. Mine came a little later when I hit the 100,000 km mark…there was much celebration! We are marking these milestones on a big trip we have been planning for a very long time. Let’s just say we like to travel by bike on our vacations…now that we are both retired, we can really rack up the mileage.
TCH 7 to 115 and 115 to 407….the rest of the ride was pretty good for highway riding….as we got closer to the Big Smoke, the traffic also got thicker. Fortunately we have travelled together a lot, we have a great communication system and we are not nervous riders. When in high traffic situations, it is good to be vigilant and this can be pretty exhausting by the end of the ride, especially in unfamiliar territory. We did hit some stop and go traffic but we were not long before we found our way to our stop for the night. We are here for the next couple of nights. Looking forward to seeing all my work peeps on Thursday and there is a good chance there might also be an anniversary celebration with a wine tour…..my favourite way to celebrate.
Teddy still loves that he is riding without having to be undercover. We are happy to have a few dry days, although the bikes….they are in need of a really deep clean…that may come tomorrow.
