Woods Racing

Nothing but Tornadoes around here…was quite the light show last night…I was pretty sure that Catherine was gonna find an underground bunker and hide out for the night.

But ..today is sunny, gonna be hot, and we’ll be hitting the road once again.

The trip over the border was ok…not much of a delay. I did learn however that the WR04 does not like..when put together, height, heat, and traffic.

The Bluewater bridge that connects Canada/USA via Sarnia/Port Huron is a tall….TALL bridge with the customs on either side. When you reach near the top the traffic starts. We were at 233ft up when we had to stop in traffic. We actually stopped the WR04 right on the border line which was kinda cool.

Stopped the WR04 right on the line

There are always interesting things to see along highways that you’re not familiar with…kinda like this warning sign:

We thought it was quite amusing lol 🙂

So…after some dinner, drinks and good times with our family here in Detroit..we’re of to explore the rest of Michigan!

Stay tuned!

We’re down here in London Ont. Stopped in for the night and it was quite the interesting drive to get to South Western Ontario.

Weather was good…up until we hit Coburg that is. Monsoon like rain poured down on the WR04 like it’s never seen…and followed us all the way to Milton.

Now..we we’re smart…skipped Toronto via the 407ETR which bypassed the traffic.

It’s a toll highway, so I will get billed, but well worth it…looking at the Garmin Nuvi with live traffic updates…showed nothing but RED all through the 401.

So cheers to the 407…well worth the 12 bucks.

As always…there are always cool cars hanging out on the 401…we spent pretty much from Cornwall to Kingston in tow with a Ferrari, an Audi A4 and a Vulcan….although I thought that the WR04’s exhaust was loud…between the Ferrari and the bike…got quite annoying after a while.

Once we got to Woodstock, the Toyota plant really showed it’s presence…it’s a massive plant right off the highway..

They’ve built up lil hills around it so can’t see toooo much of it…but let me tell you…it’s impressive.

So after a quick night’s rest at a good friend’s house…we’re gonna make our way across the border via the 402/Sarnia Bluewater bridge…

Fingers crossed that traffic won’t be bad!
