Day 2 of riding. Stopping at Best Buy in Monroe, NC. Going to see if I can find a camera mount for my bike to try and record my ride through deals gap later today. Getting a later start than I wanted but I still should be able to stay on schedule.

603 Miles today. I also ran the “Tail of the Dragon”. Route 129 in NC. It starts in NC and ends in TN. The route leading up to the section they call The Dragon was almost better than the curvy road. I do have a video of a few miles of The Dragon. I tried taking it with my regular digital camera. I will have to do some conversion before I can post it. I wasn’t able to do the whole 11 miles on video because my memory card filled up too quickly. Even so, it should give you the idea of

I’m currently sitting in a small diner in Ferndale MI waiting for the bad weather north of me to pass. No need to get wet if if I don’t have to. Yesterday was fairly simple.

Update:

I finally have a few minutes to update everyone on Day 5. I made it to Canada. It was rainy all day until I got closer to my destination. I actually had to put on my heavy jacket. It wasn’t really cold but just damp

We went to Toronto today. I have been in Toronto before but never had any opportunity to see the sights. I was always there for business. We drove down to a mall outside the city and took the subway downtown.  We took some pictures while we rode. We walked from the subway station and over to the CN tower. The CN tower is a 1800 ft tower that reminds me of the space needle in Washington. You can spend a small fortune for a ticket and go up to the observation deck. You can spend more and go up to another observation area that is higher up but we didn’t do that one. The main observation deck has a lover level that has a glass floor. You have to go through airport like security before you go up. They do their job because they reminded me
