Vstar*Lady: My summer of 2013 Riding Buddy - Finale

I had a great time last year (Summer 2013).  My riding buddy and me.   It was a daunting task for me to ride across the Country, mainly by myself.   I left Vancouver and was alone, talking to myself until I met up with my two riding buddies in State College, PA.  (actually Bellefonte, PA)   That was 8 days and 3,212.8 miles later.  I was so happy to see my two riding buddies,  ScootCommute (from Montreal) and Vstar*lady (from Kingston) .  After a day of relaxation the three of us continued to Portland, ME together where ScootCommute had to return to work and Vstar*Lady and myself continued onward to PEI

It was so nice to have company and someone to lead the way but now I had to return home and start heading West.  Just the thought brought tears to my eyes that I had to leave my riding buddy behind

    Vstar*s  lake

and learn how to fend for myself again and to think how many miles I had to cover to get back to the Pacific Coast.  

We had one last day ride together to Prince Edward County and I was really enjoying our last day together .  It was a warm summer day and all the time I wished that it would never end, but it did.  Oh how it would have been nice to stay another day but she had other commitments to attend to

I had a chance to explore her world and also meet her neighbours.   It was a nice break from living in a crowded urban city.   I enjoyed being in rural Battersea.  Notice I had the place nearly to myself.   (notice under the trees)    I think this was my last camping day until I reached Crescent City, CA

The morning had finally arrived for me to leave.   I rose with the sun

It's not yet bright and the garbage men are already at work.  I quickly packed up and loaded up my bike ready for an early departure.   As with all of my days I like to leave at 8am and grab a breakfast sandwich an hour or so down the road.

Imagine my surprise when I was treated to a breakfast of champions by Vstar*lady.  It was a great surprise.  Bacon & Eggs, Pancakes, toast and special coffee from her new machine.   I can't thank her enough for going out of her way to make me feel like I was at home

There are not enough words to express my gratitude.  All I can say is thank you for everything.  Thank you for leading me all the way from ME, through NB to PEI and  back to PQ .   Thank you for taking this summer to show me the way to places that I have never seen before.

Here is part three of our ride to Prince Edward County




This was my view for about 2-1/2 weeks . . .

and I can't wait to do it again . . .      Thank You for everything,  till we meet again
