What a terrible day and ride—only 220 km, with rain, fog, and cold.
I had to turn on my hazard lights to remain visible while Django was leading.
On a two-lane road, a driver decided to overtake both motorcycles at once, despite the poor visibility... and nearly collided head-on with a police cruiser; the cops activated all their emergency lights but did not pursue the oblivious driver, bad decision!

We had an excellent dinner at a nearby restaurant.

Day 6, Saturday - Riviere du Loup, QC to Brampton, ON - 1025 km

It has been cold and rainy since early morning. A tasty breakfast at a nearby restaurant gave us the strength and energy for the final leg of the journey home. As we move away from the St. Lawrence River, it gets warmer, though the rain continues.
Near Montreal, we skirt the edge of a thunderstorm but press on. I can feel the raindrops hitting my gloves like sharp needles.
After a few stops for fuel, coffee, and a snack, we have just 200 km left to go. The rain has stopped, it is warm, and we no longer need our rain gear.
Finally, around 8:30 PM, we arrived home.

Every day after riding, we used moto chain lube by Repsol, its an excellent product, especially when it's raining.



The long journay has come to an end.

We also went on a few day trips, stay tuned for more updates.
