2008-05-03 Lighthouse Route
What a great day it was for a ride. So great, we decided to play hooky from the conference a
while and go for a bit of a ride. It turned out to be longer than we had planned I think.
We left Oak Island Inn at noon and headed for roads unknown. We stopped at anything
that looked interesting or photogenic. What's not photogenic about a KLR and a Bridge.
(I edited down about a dozen of these pix to a few)
We headed toward Mahone Bay to take a few pix of the 3 churches and the bikes.
The twisty roads on the way were really fun to ride on. Good thing I don't ride a sport bike
as I would loose my license in no time on these roads. Apparently J"SPEED" has no connection
to shutter speed as somebody missed my wheelie shot. Pffft!
On our way to Blue Rocks we headed toward this school and found a Lunenburg Taxi. Nice.
That would be 1 horse power there Jim, half as much as your Sunbeam Red KLR.
After Blue Rocks it was Lunenburg for No Name subs. Mmmmmmmmmm
There was an old fella there with his Ural. I guess we scared him as he didn't stop to say hi.
Maybe my grimacing forehead mad me look mean, I don't know.
We made it back to the resort by 5:00 and Jim and I stayed for a beer (or 2), had supper with
a few NSDSC members, (yummy fish). After supper, literally right after supper, we made a dash
for KLRichards cottage to have a look see and then on home. I made it back by 9:30 or so.
It was a great day, and an even better ride.
