The spring motorcycle show was today. It wasn’t as large as what I remember from the January show, but I did pick up some warmer gloves, and get to oogle some of the bikes at the Suzuki of Newmarket booth:
Since I wanted to try my new gloves, and since it was another great day for a ride: (well, +4 and no rain)… I threw another dart at Google Maps and decided to visit Belwood and it’s nearby lake.
Things went OK the first 99% of the way… but as I got closer to where I though I should be going the paved roads started to run out, and the dirt parts were potholed, muddy, and rutted (not the terrain for a road bike). I had to stop and eyeball the maps I had printed to find another way around…
After crossing a bridge over Lake Belwood I circled around a bit of highway looking for “downtown”. I stopped and took some pictures… I had arrived, hooray! (only about 100KM from home)
But now that I’m home and have looked at a map, I can see that I had wandered too far and was in the nearby town of Fergus instead. I blinked and missed downtown Belwood. I had driven through it but all I remember were a few houses and a convenience store.. I assumed I was still on the outskirts 🙂
