Day 2 – Turtles, Vintage Bikes, Out of Gas

turtle tries to bite his saviour

After the kind of soul-crushing wind and rain we battled yesterday, nothing could beat cruising winding country roads through green rolling fields, glimpses of Lake Ontario deep and blue in the distance, as the sun finally broke through. Highway 2 from Brighton to Picton was a beautiful drive, as we shook off the last vestiges of the city by counting cows and rescuing a snapping turtle from the middle of the road. Our mission for the day: exploring the vintage motorcycle races of the Quinte TT at Shannonville Motorsport Park. You get 18 old custom racing bikes gunning around the track, it’s quite the symphony. Gorgeous old bikes and piping hot french fries kept our spirits high — even though we ran out of propane for the stove, and had no plates to eat our (cold) dinner from. Tomorrow: Canadian Tire, CheeseFest, and the Vintage Concours at Shannonville. And that nice coffee shop in Picton…

Hopefully their coffee machine doesn’t require propane.
