Saturday was another gorgeous day. We spent the morning at the St. Jacobs Farmer's Market & Stockyards. I didn't take the Shadow because I knew I'd end up parking in the moon-surface parking lot outside the stockyards. There was an Exotic Animal sale at the yards I wanted to check out. Yes, you can buy a camel. Good luck with that. A quick trip into the market proper yielded some fresh cheese curds (from the Bright Cheese House), fudge, and baklava.
When we got home, I headed out on a solo trip, doing a reverse of my Long Way Home route. It was still a bit too cold wear my summer jacket, as I found out. I came home to pick up Julia, and a change of jacket, and we set out.
We took a fairly long ride, out to Conestogo, up to Elora and down to Cambridge. After gassing up in Cambridge, we fell behind a few guys on Harleys, who were straight out of the movie Wild Hogs. I don't know, they could have been hard-core, but they struck me as weekend warriors. Two of the four nodded at me, which is more than what I expect from Harley rider. It was a pretty decent ride with them, and they kept me entertained through the Cambridge traffic by pointing out female pedestrians and attempting to slap their butts.
After parting company at the Blair road turnoff, we headed up to Conestoga College to watch that weekend's class of Motorcycle students navigate the cones. After we wen't to see if Julia's parents were home. No answer there, so we hopped on the Expressway and headed home.
Here's a map of the day's ride.
