6/15 – Wally-Style Welcome to Toronto
298 miles. Davide and I poked around the Heidelberg Project a bit before heading east. Wally had reached out to me a while back from the blog, and we were aiming for his home. Progress was slow, getting turned around at the tunnel and then stuck in traffic on the Ambassador...
6/14 – Cruise Assist
266 miles. Back on the road with Davide! The roads to Detroit are long, straight, and empty, so we got to play and I got to test out my new throttle lock. We found an unfurnished room on Airbnb for $20/night, and I introduced Davide to indoor camping....
6/13 – Scooters on Break
Today, I scooted in the pride parade and then on the Indy Speedway track! We were limited to 35mph though… I met Addison last year when he worked at Indy Hostel, so it was cool to run into him again. After the Amerivespa banquet (they didn’t even argue furthest...
6/12 – Cat Nap
Us crazy rally goers… are taking it easy today. Indy Hostel has some great huge bean bags in the common room....
6/11 – Backup Fuel on the Long Ride
144 miles. I enjoy the long rides at rallies, and this year about 300 scooterists went to Shelbyville. I’m not sure why I still enjoy this after pretty much 300 miles of the same scenery the day before…it must be the people. That being said, fuel stops are pretty...
6/10 – Illinoiana
344 miles. It’s sad to leave my sister, but I’m excited for Amerivespa! I rode the entire stretch from Madison to Indianapolis in one go. I gave Davide a huge hug at the hostel, and Cassi arrived from Memphis shortly after – let’s get scooter rally season started!...
6/9 – Slimey Cruds
I ended up staying a day longer than I planned, which meant I could crash the Slimey Cruds Tuesday meet at the Blue Moon. Great evening, hanging out with these people! Jeff thought it’d be funny to switch bikes…...
6/8 – Indoor Day
Sorry, Ben, my sister and I decimated the box from Greenbush Bakery. In spite of the allergen count, Madison is beautiful this time of year. Today, everything was already handed in and the blog is pretty much up to date. My biggest accomplishment was putting all those stickers I collected...
6/7 – Throwback…Sunday
I followed Ben and Moni on shopping errands (Menard’s, Target, and Pre Played: a used videogame store), and got some drawing done while thunderstorms passed outside. I couldn’t help but wonder when, or if, an errand Sunday would be in my life again? Days of the week already lose...
6/6 – Feelin’ Lazy
Around 2pm, all three of us were struck with an acute case of The Laze. Had you walked into the apartment, you might wonder if there was a gas leak. Thankfully, there was some leftover Fire Basil Beef from last night, and the spice roused me enough to commit...
