Final helmet cam videos

 

Day 10, Home on Saturday

 It was loong ride home. Traffic within and between DC and Fredericksburg was horrible. I tried to go around but I wasn't alone thinking that way.

In total the ride was a little over 3200 miles. My butt hurts… Washed the bike on Sunday and got it ready for maintenance…

Day 9, back in the USA

 It was one of the nicest camping nights, got down to 50F at night…

Day 8, Oh, Canada… Quebec and Ontario, eh…

 After wonderful breakfast friends of mine prepared for me, I took off north toward Canada

Crossing the border was like there had been no pandemic… same questions, marijuana, guns, millions of $$ in cash… Other than a submitted application for entry through ArriveCAN App…

Officer asked to turn off GoPro, so I complied. Nice guy, said he rides Triumph too, a lighter, Bonneville kind…

Once in Quebec, I stop by gas station to get drinks and cigarettes… In Canada, it’s illegal to display tobacco products so they are covered. I’m asking for “Canadien” cigs… the lady ask which kind, I say blue, - we don’t have blue… after a brief exchange of words I asked for the most popular…

After stopping by in Montreal in an undisclosed location and having lunch with undisclosed individuals, I head south-west and enter Ontario Province where I’m now camping…

Day 7, NEBDR, Section 3, surprise visit

It was wounded fil day, as promised by weather story-tellers, it did indeed cooled down and humidity level came down. 

Last night, the group of NJ riders that rode from Maine to Vermont mentioned about riding on river bed… well, I remembered it this morning

I rode sone Class 4 today, twice… it’s bc scary, heart pointing, sweat dripping and breath taking, all at the same time..

First one was short less than 0.5 mile (you don’t know when you enter), so I thought about second one - it won’t get worse and will end… nope. It ended up a steep incline river bed rocks and boulders, so I had to ride Class 4 two-mile stretch twice… that was at the half of Section 3. I planned on riding partially any ways but that made my mind quickly to bail out. Instead I took fast route to Mount Greylock…

 Last night I filled out Canadian ArriveCAN app and chose ground entry point, so today I laid the route and it took me from NY side up the right VT to it. I wondered why and saw a town of Shelburne (suburb of Burlington, VT) 

…and I remember that my friend lives there, se here I come, as a surprise, though I texted him (he never text until after he saw me)

…and while my family is in Peru, I’ve been to Peru while they are in Peru too
