2013 USA Motorcycle Tour: Chapter 5, Day 4

Day four of our trip looked promising. Low humidity, no rain and clear skies. We prepped our bikes like we always did and I noticed the dirt and grime that had built up over the last few days.

Another day begins ...

... with dirty fenders ...

... dirty tails ...

... and dirty swingarms

We quickly fueled up and made our way out of Burlington, Vermont. While not a huge city by any means, still proved to be difficult to get out of with morning traffic.

Gas, don't leave home without it

Because the rain had thrown us off our original route, we had no time to tour the White Face mountains in New Hampshire like we had planned. Because of time restricitons we started to head back to Canada. The route we decided on was through the Adirondack mountains again towards the Ogsdenburg boarder cross. We departed Vermont via ferry.

Leaving Vermont

This would have been a more appropriate machine for our trip

Arriving in New York

Familiar Adirondack roads greeted us as the ferry docked. The mountain roads were definately very pretty (especially when it wasn't raining ice cubes) but still quite boring otherwise.

PIN IT!!!!

As we reached Lake Placid, food started to enter our minds. We stumbled across another somewhat famous established called Tail O' The Pup. What the BBQ ribs lacked in quality, it made up for in quantity.

Don't worry, no homo was declared

The knee down experience

Back on the road with a full stomach, we made good time and found ourselves in Ogsdenburg very quickly.

Once we made our way through Customs Ricky decided to head home (probably for women) while Alok George and I wanted play some more (because we have no girlfriends).

Bye Ricky!

Chillin' in line

Officially back in Canada!

With Ricky gone, the rest of us headed towards Kingston, Ontario for the night.
