Reigning NERDS Granite Lane Gold Medalist
The A plan went bust as I woke up in the morning and it was raining. I just don't like starting a ride in the rain. The forecast was bad. My knee was sore and my back was twinging from an awkward moment the previous week from an incident with the dirt bike. So we went to Plan 'B', start the next day.
The day was my birthday and my only real job for today was to get to Ben & Jerry's for ice cream. I stayed off the slab and followed the north shore of Lake Ontario joining up with the Loyalist Parkway down near Picton. I rolled onto the ferry for a short little ferry ride and then it was on to the Thousand Islands to cross into the States. There was no traffic on the first bridge and Duty Free had my favorite rye whiskey in stock. The weather was good, the XM Radio on the Zumo was pumping out the tunes, the FJRer was humming and it was time to go play around Lake Placid. Hwy 30 from the Fishing Ponds back onto Hwy 3 was especially memorable as traffic was almost non-existent and the few Harley types were good about letting me ride by.
I don't really remember stopping for lunch since I was on a mission to make Ben & Jerry's. After leaving the Lake Placid playground it was on to Essex to roll onto another ferry which had just docked and unloaded just as I arrived. My timing was perfect. I then used my Zumo to run the back way over to the App Gap and had a great run up and over with no traffic. As I rolled past Mad River Glen the roads got wet but the skies were clear. Traffic picked up on VT100 going north but it was all good as I rolled into my goal for the day with time to spare...
I had Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream in a chocolate dipped waffle cone. It was decadent.
After giving myself one massive ice cream headache I rolled into the Commodore Inn to dominate and win the first stage.
I celebrated my victory with a few well poured ryes.
