Unlike many large cities in the US, like San Francisco and a few others where most restaurants close by 9:30pm and bars and clubs not too long thereafter, Montreal knows how to party!! The bars and restaurants on our street for the 3 nights that we have been here have been pumping until 3 and 4 am which is terrific, unless you have ideas of sleep and early departures!! So although we had great intentions of being on the road early, by the time we had breakfast, packed the bike and were ready to go, it was already after 10am and we had a long 550km ride to do today. On the upside, its a public holiday called labour day today so there was almost no traffic leaving Montreal which was a bonus as it enabled us to exit the city quickly.
Our 550km Days ride to Boston…
Although it was threatening since we left Montreal, we were fortunate enough to not have encountered rain until we entered Massachusetts where it was coming down in buckets. This was coupled with bumper to bumper traffic for Miles heading back into Boston after the Labour day weekend which meant that we got soaked for the last 150km of our ride.
Our final crossing back into the USA from Canada!!
Needless to say, its always a treat to visit Boston so it didn’t matter if the conditions of the last few kilometres were uncomfortable. We are spending 3 nights here so we are looking forward to the time to explore and enjoy.
