I left Montreal Canada around 9:00am hoping to get in at least six hundred miles of riding well into the night. I traveled south towards the US and crossing into the US at the thousand Island border crossing in upstate New York onto I-81.
I crossed several bridges that were impressive and the views were spectacular. I had no hassles at the border crossing and I-81 was smooth for while. I stopped at the Verizon store in Olean NY to replace a battery on the cellular after dinner.
As I mounted the Wander, I could see an approaching storm front with the ominous storm clouds and possible rains so I suited up but not much fell.
I pushed it hard past the storm front and after about an hour of riding I tried to waiting it out at a Tom Horton’s in Elmira NY. When I got back on the road I fortunately monitored a local radio station to hear a thunderstorm warning around midnight. I ducked into a nice hotel to view the thunderstorm from my hotel window.
