Windsor to Bay of Fundy

Got rear wheel on Spyder and left Halifax by noon to head to Windsor to see Natalie and get Triumph serviced at Bros Cycle, the Regan family store (Bruce, Debbie, Natalie and Matt). Erik used to work with Natalie and we enjoyed lunch in Windsor with her. Their dealership features Triumph, Polaris, Royal Enfield, and Stihl. Great service and nice family. Crossed New Brunswick on twisty roller coaster roads mostly in good condition but when we hit a rough spot they just patched it up by throwing fresh tar in the holes. Erik dodged it on the bike but of course I couldn't and the Spyder spit it all over me and back on the bike. Ugly! Scenic farms and red beaches and rivers at high tide. Made a tactical error by not checking the map well enough and booking our hotel too faraway for a reasonable day of driving so we ended up in the dark watching out for moose and deer and pulling into the motel at 10:00. We promised we would not do that and we were lucky. But here safe and sound now and ready for low tide in the morning. The weather held up for us though and the riding was good.
