Sounds like a good reason to go for a ride

Went for a quick ride up to see my Mom and it was super windy out today. Almost got blown out of my lane several times today.
Awenda Park was really nice:

Yea, it was pretty windy - had to tuck myself in when riding around Etobicoke today. Any stronger and I'd have to cling onto the bike for dear life lol.
Headed home once it started coming down...good 1.5 hours spent getting re-acquainted after winter lol
I was thinking to myself that today was some of the strongest and most unpredictable wind gusts I have ridden in before. Usually they feel strong and somewhat predictable but theses ones were really tossing me around. On the country roads with big wide open farmers fields with no windbreaks, I had to ride at the edge of my lane to keep from getting blown across my full lane and into oncoming traffic. Same with riding home down the Hwy400 - had to stay to the right of the right tire track because riding in the left tire track would allow me to get pushed into the next lane.
Today there was a VStrom meet-up in Bancroft and 24 riders came out!
@kurtrules and myself left at 7am and took the long way to Port Perry via the Forks and Hockley Valley. Then 8 of us rode to Bancroft for a nice long sit-down lunch. Ten of us are all heading down to Deals Gap in a couple weeks so it was good to meet up and laugh at each other before the fails begin. After Bancroft, I headed up to Elephant Lake Rd and made it back home by 7pm - just under 800km. Still some sandy roads, but overall, what a beautiful day out and so many bikes riding around up north.

Rode out to Port Hope for my buddies birthday bash ride. Started with scenic views along the lake near Port Britain and eventually ended on more agressive bits like this trail across from the Buddist temple. That street view is from 2018. It looked a lot gnarlyer on Sunday. Only got so far in before too many mud puddles turned us back.

Nice run. Interesting there is another Causeway around Kirkfield I always take (HWY 3 off 48) but it's all gravel. So I am wondering where this one is which is paved. This must be HWY 33 Centennial Park rd?Kirkfield Causeway:
I don't fish
That’s a set of Givi E21 cases that I can use as backup or for parts with the other set I have.
Out exploring some new roads.
The tank range on the Hyper is comical (as is the seat height), 180 kms till reserve. Still, I'm getting out farther and farther on the bike, 400 kms at a stretch so far. Not unusual to have to gas up three times in one day though...

First enduro ride of the year!
Still a fair bit of snow up at higher elevations, but we found a hill climb that was clear of the white stuff.
A good start to the season. Waiting for the weather to warm up a bit more so we can do more exploring.

Riding pillion or her own scoot?
Pillion.
You never have to wait for someone on the same bike as you (once you leave the hotel).
Noisy Harley...rider whacks the throttle and dumps the clutch to show off for the crowd...went sideways then wibbly wobble CRUNCH scrape down the hill. Didn't hit anything, rider eventually rode it away. Took several people to pick up too much tonnage of overweight bike.
