Yeah, Peter's garage has been a bit crowded since last week Monday. The two Japanese ladies have had to share the space with a German traveler whenever they're not out on the road. So far, though, they've been getting along just fine.

We had these trips so far:

- Monday June 15: get the bike and test ride around the block
- Tuesday June 16 - Sa, June 20: Ride to and around Gaspe peninsula
- Sunday, June 21: Ride to Stayner
- Monday, June 22: Ride to Muskoka, Parry Sound
- Tuesday, June 23: Ride to Niagara-on-the lake and Niagara Fall
- Wednesday, June 24: Niagara but with car to walk around and enjoy the Niagara Falls in shorts and t-shirt.  Cool

So far, we've covered 4,564 km on the bikes.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but our days have basically consisted of riding, feeding both the humans and the machines, and getting some sleep before doing it all over again. There simply hasn't been much time left for posting.

More stories and photos will follow once we catch our breath!

And of course, I have to give a huge shout-out to Peter for his incredible hospitality. He's been an amazing host, and his local knowledge is simply unbelievable. Riding with him on his home roads has been a real privilege — he seems to know every curve, every viewpoint, and every hidden gem in the area.
Now, to be fair, the weather could have been organized a little better... but I suppose even Peter's influence has its limits.  Smile

I extracted all the tracks so far from my Zumo XT and created a map in Google My Maps.

You can see it here:

You may click at any track to get more information.

Clearly, it was a fantastic trip. Is there a particular spot or road that resonated more with you than others? David

Seeing new places with new friends - you just can't do better than that.
