Just got home. Awesome trip. Thanks for all your hard work to get this one together. The tracks were spot on, the riding was very fun and fast. Austrian 950 rototiller territory. I love my bike.




Too bad there was so much carnage. Hope Aaron isn't too bad off.

Crossed the border in Cornwall. Fun bridge, great views up there. My re-introduction to the US of A consisted of the border agents searching my gear and being cut off badly within the first two miles. Wheee....

Anyways, good to put faces to the names.
I'll post more pictures later, but I need a shower and a nap.

Got home about 2 hours ago. Unpacked, laundry is going, I've had a shower.

This whole "normal life" thing feels weird...

Can we do it again next month?

I had to cut the 2 or 3 minutes needed to move his bike back and forth to be able to get out of the boat

Back and dry docked at the Palace of the People on one tank from Quebec. Had a good dinner with Alcontrast from the remainders of what was left in the panniers. Cous cous, a curry, and lashings of muscle relaxer (the bottled kind.) Good to meet you Inglorious Bastards.

God, I hurt! It sucks having knees. Taking a fist-full of Vitamin I and am off to bed.

A very well-done affair!

Cheers.

That is awesome! I had a front row seat for the dresser incident, the kid working on the boat helped him catch it.

It can be done in less for sure, but I was trying to avoid bouncing the patient around.

Loph is with Ms. Loph, enroute to home. Sore for sure, but managing.


It was great meeting everyone, and...

Beer, Advil, Goodnight.
