    Default Our first real road trip to Gander NL

    St. John’s NL to Gander NL yesterday, 350km. We’re rolling it up in 150km chunks bc I’m not fully confident of the fuel range on spouse’s Ryker yet. Roll 150, stop for gas and tea, roll 150 seems to work for us.

    Spending today rolling around the Gander area. Getting home tomorrow should be interesting. Forecast calls for 15-20mm rain.

    Oh well, if you can’t ride in the rain you can’t ride in Newfoundland....

    When we pulled up to the Comfort in there was a bunch of bikes in the lot, including 4 Spyders. I wonder if any are members here?

    Sounds great to us. We would love to be able to take that ride this year, but we're stuck in San Antonio, TX, hunkering down because of the pandemic. We missed our usual "get away for a while" spring ride this year and are having withdrawal symptoms!
