Weekend rides

Got out for a nice Canada day ride with my wife.

We went up to Carp, Arnprior, along the river to Horton, Renfrew ( where we ate at the Rocky Mountain Schnitzel House) , Burnstown , Waba, Almonte and home.

Just a nice summer ride on a perfect summer day.


Today I met up with Brent and we went up to Kaladar, Napanee, Bath, Kingston, Highway 15 to Smith Falls and home.

Lake Ontario is really pretty along highway 33, which runs from near Picton to Kingston.

Lots of little rest stops with historical significance...or none.






There is a scenic route through Kingston that follows the lake and takes you right downtown without all of the traffic and big box store malls.
I discovered it on one of my solo expeditions.
Downtown Kingston is beautiful.

It was a great ride.
We saw eagle nests with hatchlings in them outside Adolphustown.

Rode along Lake Ontario.


Stopped for lunch outside of Bath and feasted on baloney sandwiches (now with 50% more beaks and snouts) and granola bars washed down with Fresca.
Yes..I am now one of those dorks who packs a lunch for us.
Eat in a fast food restaurant... either before you are actually hungry or when you are starving.....or stop whenever you want and eat outside.... by the water.
And you don't feel violated afterwards.
Nicer view, too.

A shot from the  table we ate at.


And then home.
The ride .......and my holiday..... is over.
