<\/a>Planned route for the whole trip.<\/p><\/div>\n
Same as always, last day before long vacation, things start to break at work that requires attention, I had to stay at work until 7pm Thursday and still deffer some stuff to my colleagues for tomorrow. sorry Todd!.<\/p>\n
On Friday morning, it’s rush to pack everything and not to forget anything important, finally I’m ready to leave home at 11:00am, (0km)<\/p>\n
Stopped to put gas in first gas station and then hit hwy 400, all the way north toward Grundy Lake provincial park.<\/p>\n
I had a short stop to have lunch in TimHorton’s \u00a0in the rest area just before Barrie.<\/p>\n It was nice weather and nice ride, got to Grundy Lake Provincial Park around 4pm, (293km).<\/p>\n Just got to the camp site, nice weather.<\/p><\/div>\n Weather forecast for tomorrow is not good, it will be all day rain starting in the morning, so I either have to leave in the morning before rain start or just stick around until evening that rain stops.<\/p>\n My campsite is already booked for next day by someone else, so I have to move out of the site anyway, so the plan is to leave in the morning.<\/p>\n I setup the tent, gone for a hike in one of the trails, had dinner, took a shower and straight to tent to sleep by 8pm, as I need to getup early tomorrow.<\/p>\n Views from the hiking trail<\/p><\/div>\n The weather forecast for tomorrow is rain starting around 7am, p.o.p 100% !!!\u00a0 so there is no room for chance or luck.\u00a0 I set the alarm for 5am so I will have enough time to pack before rain starts.<\/p>\n In the morning, I get up at 5am, it is pitch black and there is no rain, I don\u2019t know why I’m still debating if I should get up and pack or should I stay longer!!!<\/p>\n Checked the weather forecast and still %100 p.o.p and 10-15mm rain for the morning, so I start packing.<\/p>\n By the time I get to wrap the tent it start drizzling, and by the time I’m securing the bags to the bike it’s raining.<\/p>\n I put the jacket and helmet on, and last minute check in the darkness before I leave, and I forgot to remove the rope I used to hang the tarp, so I go in the branches of the trees to remove the rope and just stick it first place I found in the luggage and hit the road right away.<\/p>\n By 6am I’m in the highway riding in the rain toward Sudbury.<\/p>\n And by 7am I’m in the first TimHorton’s I found in Sudbury, \u00a0Having breakfast and trying to rest a little before getting back on the road in the rain.<\/p>\n Raining all day….<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was planning for another road trip since our road trip to deal\u2019s gap last year.
