So today was an interesting day of riding. I jumped on my bike this afternoon to go and meet my mom. I realized that I should probably fill up soon, but decided it could wait until after I met up with my mom a Canadian Tire. I had full intentions of filling up there, but after about 1/2 hour of shopping, I completely forgot and we headed up to my mom's house to drop of our purchases. This was still not a big deal. I can fill up after we stop at mom's. Once we were ready to go again, my mom asked if we wanted to go and see if Bednesti was open for the season yet. It sounded like a good plan and off we went down the highway. Bednesti is about a 1/2 hour drive down the highway and I had not filled up with gas yet. Fortunately there is one last gas station at the very edge of the city limits. As I saw it approaching I remembered my fuel tank and flagged my mom down and we pulled in to fill up my tank. I would like to find out exactly how far I can go on my reserve, but that's not really the way I want to do it.

Anyway, as it turned out, we only went about 10 km and it started to rain, so we turned around. It seems we were out running the rain all day actually. We headed back into town and headed past Artnaps. We sort of did the airport loop but made it a little bigger by going through some farm land areas east of the highway. As we were coming back into town it started to rain on us again so we decided to call it a day. We never got very wet, but it was enough to send us home.

Start: 32,810 km - End: 32,913 km - Total Distance: 103 km
