Im up at 6:30 and after packing up the bike and getting sorted I hit the road around 9. Destination Niagara. The bike cruises at 110 on the highway and in no time we're in Niagara On The Lake. Lunch at smugglers cove an then a quick walk around the historic town including the old Apothecary. Jumping on the scenic Niagara Park Way I'm reminded of Margaret River as I pass beautiful vineyards. Arriving at ACBB hostel they give me a warm welcome and manage to...

It's a rainy morning but I head out and walk around the city for a bit. It's Sunday and not much is going on. I need to move rooms again so have to check out at 11 and move back in after 2. I make a few adjustments to the bike and head out for a ride in the afternoon to Scarborough Bluff. The bike is great to ride (even in the city) the new riding gear is good. Can't wait to head down to Niagara tomorrow.

Canadian Tyre is for outdoor freaks what Bunnings is to house people. I'm in my element and manage to find most of the tools and parts I need for the trip. Jumping over to Bike World I'm again in heaven as they have a truly massive range of bike accessories and after an hour or so I settle on an Alpine Stars ...

It's 8:30 when I get to Service Ontario and im not in top condition thanks to last nights antics. An hour later and having to explain that they can issue a plate on an Australian license, I have a temporary plate in my hand. A quick train ride and I'm cable tying the plate to the bike. Waiting for the basement door to open the bike stalls and won't start. Bloody fuel tap - doh. I'm finally on the bike and blasting out of the city to a mechanics (...

I'm waiting for the bike insurance to come through so spend the day in wifi reception researching camping gear. It's past lunch time when Scott (Adelaide) and I decide to head out to get some fresh air and lunch at Victoria Markets. When I get back to the hostel an email is waiting from the insurance company, but its too late in the day to get the plate done. First thing tomorrow. I head out to Europe Equip (camping store) and get some new camping gear. W...
