Adventures in Pain III

My Last Day!

I travelled rather quickly I have to admit, from Sault Ste. Marie to Toronto. It was a rather uneventful, although as I write that I remember that heading south through Barrie there was a back up on the 400 that went for about 10km's...not the way I was going, thank heavens, but the other way, and this was around lunch time too so...wow.

(I have yet to get my own computer up and running, basically it needs a desk or a hard object on which to place it, so for those of you who read my other site, I apologize for the lack of updating...)

SO, other than that massive back up (in the other direction) the travel from the Sault to TO was nice, hot, what with the pavement of the 400 catching every last bit of the sun that it could, and with my bikes engine underneath me and the sun blasting my back...you know the ususal...but other than that it was a good travel.

I got home, took a shower, dressed up purdy! and then picked up my special lady-friend from work! Boy were we happy to see each other.

So, folks...there you have it...my Adventures in trying to be Clever. I looked at my odometer and found out that my total KM's for this trip were...12,000!
Have a grand ol' time and maybe we'll see each other on this road again...who knows...Peace out my friends!

p.s. while my home computer is waiting for a desk, I will probably still use this to update peeps on my doings...Love ya and keep reading!

Adventures in Pain II

...continued from the last post

So, I was bounced around like a super ball on that freakin' tube. I went for a total of 4 runs and was gloriously launched off every single time. And the last time was very easily the shortest run as my arms had slowly turned to jelly and my fingers were wet noodles.

The evening was very relaxing. We went into Kenora for supper at Boston Pizza. The following day I was on the road at 7am heading east...little did I know that it was going to be my longest trek of the trip (actually I did know, but I didn't know if I was going to be able to ride that hard that far and still live to ride another day.).

Second Last Day
My journey took me from Kenora to Sault Ste. Marie. The wonderful thing about travelling on a motorcycle is that you are forced to stop at least every 2 hours to refuel, so one does get the opportunity to stretch and refuel oneself as well as the bike.

There was nothing overly interesting to report about this leg of the trip other than it's length. Kenora to Sault Ste. Marie constitutes 1,200 Kms.

More adventures in pain

I ended that last post with Kenora where I met up with some friends of mine who have a cottage at Beauty Bay Golf Resort (of which I'm told the golf course sucks!). I was planning on only spending the morning there so I could surprise Jennifer by being back a whole 2 days early, however I went tubing with them and that is when I changed my mind and decided to stay the rest of the day. I decided that because then I would still be back a day earlier than I was originally planning.

Black & Blue

I'm now back in town reliving the past 6 weeks. So that's what these following posts will mainly be, memories.

........

The morning after Jennifer left I took off on the last leg of my incredible Adventures in Being Clever. I rode from Saskatoon to Regina, had lunch with friends there, that was only 250 km, then the butt bruising began. From Regina to Kenora...800km! Oh yeah baby! The total of that day: 1,050km. That was the longest day I had had thus far...and let me tell you, it was freaking long. I didn't get to Kenora until almost midnight, and riding late at night is not the safest so, I was praying pretty darn hard, let me tell you.

Whirlwind!

Finally, after 5 freakin long weeks, I saw my lady love! It was a flurry of hugs and kisses.

So, Jennifer flew in on Thursday, and we immediately rode down to Rockglen (southern Saskatchewan) to visit my sister and brother-in-law, Charisse & Tyler. It was a surprisingly restful visit; horse-back riding, gopher hunting, truck driving, all in all quite restful. Then, we rode back to Saskatoon on Saturday and got ready for a meet Jennifer/engagement party that night. That was an awesome time! Jennifer finally got to meet my groomsmen and a number of my very good friends from times of not so long ago.

Praise God for friends.

They loved her and she loved them. It was an amazing time and they are looking forward to the wedding and meeting the rest of my friends here.

Then on Sunday we had a friends wedding to go to which went to a nice late time, where Jennifer met even more of my friends and saw a truly crazy side of me! I haven't danced like that since the last wedding I was at, last year, and Jennifer has never seen me like that...it was freakin' awesome.

Monday ended the trip-extrordinaire with lunch with my other sister Aimee. Needless to say she got rave reviews all around (of course!).

Well, that's enough for today...will update more later. Peace!
