We have been having some great riding weather the last week.
So, last evening we got together with some of our riding friends and headed to one our favourite restaurants 3Ds Pizzeria in Florence, Ontario.
About 30 some miles from home and then a fantastic ride along the St. Clair River road after a delicious meal.
Enjoy!
More adventures to come.
Cheers, Terry
Meet up at Timmies. No Heavy outerwear required today!
Arrival at 3Ds.
The ladies having a seat outside on the patio waiting for our table to be ready.
Parking was at a premium when we arrived. Busy and popular restaurant with great pizza!
Another fantastic ride yesterday.
A short 4 hr ride south down the river road and back along the St. Clair river.
We ended up in a small community called Wallaceburg, Ontario and stopped in at the “Big Chief Drive In” for a burger and a beer.
After eating we made the ride back home the same way so we could get back to the house and prepare for Mondays Canada Day festivities.
As we deal with a heat wave to last couple of days I just couldn’t help sharing a photo of our temperature gauge outside the man cave.
As we sit here in the air conditioning, our friends from “The Wanderers” are on the road to a benefit ride for kids cancer in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
We wish them all a safe and uneventful ride and weekend!
Cheers, Terry

Yesterday, July 13th, was the annual trip to Lucan, Ontario and “Baconfest”
This event has grown leaps and bounds over the last couple of years and it was perfect day for riding.
Spent a couple of hours there, checked out the food booths and stopped at one of our favourite gathering places at the Legion beer tent.
Met up with quite a few friends from Sarnia there and then in the afternoon left and went to Ilderton, Ontario to the “King Edward” for a bite to eat.
Although a very toasty ride home (90 plus degrees) it was a great day!
Enjoy the pics!
Cheers, Terry

Yesterday we planned a day trip with our riding group “The Wanderers”. Destination was Port Stanley, Ontario, a small beach community of the shore of Lake Erie.
Approximately an 75 mile trip through the backroads. Weather was very hot and humid, and with that brings the occasional rain burst. We almost dodged them but got caught in one of the way back home.
A fifteen minute downpour as we pulled off to the side of the road, and then we were on our way home. The temperature was so warm that within a short time our clothes dried on the ride home.
Enjoy the photos!
A long weekend coming here this weekend in Ontario. We are off to out annual “Hog for Hospice” trip to Leamington, Ontario.

Cheers, Terry

Just returned yesterday from our annual trip to Leamington, Ontario and the “Hogs for Hospice” rally.
No count yet on the amount of bikes that participated but looked larger than last year (2000+ bikes)
This year there was a different route selected. We still did the tour of Point Pelee National Park and then onto Wheatley, Ontario for the stop at the half way point of the ride.
They shut down the main intersection there and all bikes were parked and the party was on! After a hour and half stop there for food and refreshments the organizers summoned everyone back to their bikes. Then they ask everyone to start their bikes all at the same time, and of course, rev them all up. Honestly the noise was deafening but oh so cool!
We could not have asked for better weather for riding. The weekend was perfect!
If you would like to go to their website and watch a video of the ride and other info, go to Hogsforhospice.com
Enjoy the photos from the weekend!
Cheers, Terry

Bikes parked for the evening. Seacliff Inn. Mark and his buddy in the hotel lobby! “The Wanderers” are here!
