  1. 1 qt of oil for almost 7k km seems to be reasonable. Nice summary.

    Sooo, when's the next trip?

    1. The bike shall move to Toronto at one point in the not so far future, so I guess a trip around the Great Lakes would be in order ;-)

    1. Bumble bee stings in the face (flew into my helmet and was as panicked as I was). Did hurt like hell.

  3. Wow, you really did travel a ways. Hard to believe you were on the road 19 days total.

    Only 2.5 days of rain? It felt like more reading the posts. Glad it was just over 10% and no more.

    1. Brandy, you are right, it felt like a lot more, but at two days the rain only lasted half a day (but it was plenty in a fairly short time frame).

    1. If one's allergic, and has to attend to each one, you begin to count...

  5. Only 18 mosquito bites? I can get that many walking from the house to the garage. :)
    All in all it seems like it was a pretty good trip although, like Trobairitz, I also thought you had much more rain than that.

    1. So, what you're saying is, I'm lucky, eh?

  6. Buying that bike was a fabulous idea. Rental would have cost more, plus now you get to go back and do it again, covering different ground, of course. :-)

    1. Double benefits, Kathy. That's more than I had hoped for. And yes, I have high hopes to use it again another time.
