June 17th, 2008 Montreal to Pembroke, Ontario – 209 Miles
1. La Peau World Headquarters..........2. Street Clock in Downtown Montreal
3. Two Person Side Car!...............................................4. Entering Ontario
We started the day with a workout at the gym and then went out for a downtown stroll to have a cappuccino. At 12:00 I phoned BMW and the moto would be ready by 2:00 PM.
Other than leaving with a wallet $2300 lighter, I was very pleased with the service they had provided. The mechanic told me the pressure plate was worn down to the rivets and it was 100% consumed.
It was great to be out on the road and it was a sunny 20C day. The countryside is fairly flat and mainly farmland. We flew down the road toward Ottawa but approximately 20 miles out of town it began to rain. We went into a Tim Hortons for a soup and sandwich (god bless Ron Joyce) and to escape the rain. After 30 minutes the rain was minimal and we resumed our trip. Unfortunately t was still rush hour between 5:30 and 6:15 and we crawled along the freeway through Ottawa almost until Kanata. After Amprior we were on two lane highway but the traffic was light. We stopped at Pembroke and will be on the road early to try for a large mileage day.
