Niagara Escarpment Ride
May 24, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
There's something special about having a summer Friday off 🌞

Today was a beautiful day for a ride along the Niagara escarpment - a bit of shopping, lunch, blue skies and ice cream.
Traveler I can smell that leather!

Princess Point Sunset
June 13, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
A ride through the city, chasing the sunset. We ended up at Princess Point, one of the prettiest spots in Hamilton to watch the sun go down.

An hour, and around 40kms, all city driving. The best part was taking the Kenilworth Access to the Sherman Cut, and back down the escapement again through Corktown. Very pretty!Read more

Niagara Ribfest Bike Night
June 14, 2024 in Canada ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Friday night ride down the QEW to Niagara Falls' Rapidsview Park and the Bike Night at Ribfest.
It was a smaller turnout of bikes than we hoped for, but we had a great rib and brisket dinner from the Camp 31 booth. We watched the judging for Best Bagger, Best Softtail, Best Custom. And it was a good night for a ride to try out my new jacket.

When the sun was setting, we took the River Road to Fort Erie, and then hopped back on the highway for home.

The passenger seat was not ideal for a 2 hour ride, we will start looking for replacement.Read more

TravelerThanks! It's fun to look back on the areas we've covered. Difficult to capture an image without the 'alternate' routes though.
