We went to a funky little pub called the Old Boot Pub for a
late lunch. We had a blast there and Gord of the CAV gifted me with the most
amazing “House Wife” from the 505 Ladders. <br />
A tiny little mending kit that he asked me to keep in the pocket of my
vest.<br />
It’s still there and will stay there!<o:p></o:p><br />

Built in the late 1960’s, King’s Landing is a collection of
buildings that have been moved from various parts of New Brunswick to
facilitate the construction of a hydro-electric dam that raised the St. John
River over 150 feet.<br />
<br />
This place is immense and is filled with area homes that
have been thoroughly researched and are a factual representation of the families
who once lived in them. The horse and
cart that took us around past some of the buildings dropped us off up by the
water mill and from there we walked all through the various homes and buildings
that are part of the interactive displays.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After I got my bike unpacked, I rode to Pirate Cove for some supper. It was a terrible meal. The lobster roll I bought was filled with shell bits and the lobster poutine was horrid - the fries were hot, but the gravy was cold. They nuked it but then the fries became soggy and the nuking made the grease come to the surface. I ate the lobster bits and left the rest - sadly the woman who runs the place was not interested in why I did not eat my meal.</span></div>

That's $20+ that I wished I had not spent.<br />

I returned back to the B & B, and was greeted by some of the other guests who were sitting on the veranda drinking wine and chatting and low and behold, we have a mutual friend in common - Jon Burman of Classy Chassis in Lakefield Ontario! Wally and Linda are from Oshawa!<br />

I got some of my gear repacked and headed down for breakfast at 7:30 am. I was treated, as were the other guests to Eggs Benedict, served with fruit, three different cheeses, sweet breads, the local delicacy of ploye and lively conversation.<br />

The meal was perfection as was the service. Norma makes every guest feel special.<br />

The first order of business was to check out <a href="http://tourismedmundston.com/en/index.php">Edmundston Tourism's visitor centre</a>.<br />
It is an old train station and has friendly knowledgeable, bilingual staff. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After a brief chat about how to find some of the attractions I wanted to see, I decided to take in the <a href="http://foirebrayonne.com/fr/index.php">Foire Brayonne</a> - it is a festival that celebrates the Republic of Madawaska and the people who make up the Northwestern part of New Brunswick.</span><br />
<br />
According to history, the Republic of Madawaska is represented by a flag that was created and raised by a man named John Baker during the conflicts between the US and Canada and features an eagle and six stars, one star for each of the founding peoples: Acadians, Quebecers, Scots, Irish, English and Aboriginals.<br />
<br />
Madawaska region is called the Land of the Porcupine and the mascot for the Foire Brayonne is a Porcupine. There is a sculpture at the entrance to the park of the mascot - he almost looks like a beaver until you look at his tail!<br />

<br />
<i>From the<a href="http://foirebrayonne.com/en/index.php"> Foire Brayonne web site</a>, here is the definition of the word Brayonne:</i><br />
In the olden days, inhabitants of the Madawaska region cultivated an herbaceous plant called flax, in french known as "Braye". The pioneers grew flax on the plains of Saint-Basile. This plant was crushed to render it fibrous in order to make clothing. Thus the flax "brayeux" (shredders) came to be known as Brayons.<br />
<br />
The term "Brayon" can also be associated with the first settlers of Canada, given that some French colonists originally came from the Pays de Bray in Upper Normandy. Several similarities exist between Brayons from the mother country and those from Madawaska, especially their contagious "joie de vivre" (happiness of living) and the renowned buckwheat pancake more commonly known as ploye. End Quote.<br />
<br />
The displays and attractions at the Foire Brayonne were wonderful to take in, the snow shoe maker and the farmer "threshing" the flax by hand was wonderful to watch. As I wandered through the vendors booths and viewed the hand woven fabrics and hand crafted jewellery, the smells and sounds of a carnival enveloped me.<br />

I was drawn to the small stage down by the river where a jazz/blues singer was belting out a song - I don't know his name or the name of the song, but the man had a voice and a half and everyone seemed enthralled with him.<br />

After a couple of hours of wandering around and enjoying the sunshine, I made my way back to my bike and headed to the <a href="http://www.comfortinn.com/hotel-edmundston-canada-CN240?listpos=1">Comfort Inn </a>where I would be staying for the night. Guildo, the manager was there when I checked in and we chatted about the trip and what I was doing. He ensured me that if I needed anything all I had to do was ask. <br />
<br />
I headed to the room and emptied out my bike. After that task was accomplished I headed for the <a href="http://www.tourismnewbrunswick.ca/Products/A/Antique-Automobile-Museum.aspx">Antique Auto Museum</a> and the <a href="http://jardinnbgarden.com/en/">New Brunswick Botanical Gardens</a>. I had forgotten how wonderful it was to ride my bike without all of the weight I was packing - it made finding my way around in a strange town much easier!<br />
<br />
I took in the <a href="http://www.tourismnewbrunswick.ca/Products/A/Antique-Automobile-Museum.aspx">Auto Museum</a> first and while it is small, the collection they have there is filled with impressive examples of the automobile's history in New Brunswick. <br />

The lady behind the counter took me on the tour and answered all of my questions - she was super knowledgeable about every vehicle in the place!<br />
<br />
The first vehicle was a Brickland that belonged to Richard Hatfield - a former premier of this wonderful province.<br />

The facility is well equiped and beautiful and Chantal is one knowledgable lady!<br />

The next stop was to meet carver Luc Cyr. My grandmother was a Cyr. The Cyr's that came to New Brunswick were only one family with 9 brothers and hence anyone with the last name of Cyr is related!<br />

Luc has MS and is confined to a wheel chair. Having been a carpenter all of his life, he found his passion in carving and he is so talented. <br />

His wife, Paulette does all of the painting of Luc's carvings.<br />
<br />
He describes her talent as taking his carvings and creating life in them.<br />
<br />
He is more in awe of her ability than he is of his own. He told me that he began "sniffing" wood at the age of 6 and never looked back and in fact still has his grandfather's wood working tools, many of them dating back 150 years!<br />
<br />
After the stimulating conversation and being in absolute awe of this man's skill, I wandered through the 8 acres of flowers, trees and displays feeling so peaceful. The beauty making me miss the art of floristry.<br />

I so enjoyed the gardens and encourage you to take some time in Edmundston.<br />
It's beautiful and the people are so friendly.<br />
<br />
I headed to my room at the Comfort Inn feeling like I had really gotten to know this city and it's history.<br />
<br />
Guildo and his staff at the <a href="http://www.comfortinn.com/hotel-edmundston-canada-CN240?listpos=1">Comfort Inn Edmundston</a> are super accommodating and like all of the Comfort Inn's offer a good continental breakfast and so after a really deep sleep I found myself up at 5:30 am and in the breakfast room at 6.<br />
<br />
There were tons of people already eating and the number of bikers was impressive. I met riders from all over Quebec and Ontario who were looking at the gloomy rain filled skies and sighing.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt;"> The Interpretative Centre is ecological friendly and tells the tale of the sea life, the flora and fauna of the region. The many exhibits feature the birds of the region, the sea life and concentrate on environmental change and impacts. One of the first things you come across is a solar water fountain. It is amazingly beautiful AND environmentally friendly!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I headed back to Moncton to say my good byes to the gang at Toys for Big boys in Moncton. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11pt;">It was awesome to see Larry Northrup, the owner again. He is such a kind man!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His dealership is a major sponsor for the new event Moto Moncton and he is very excited about being involved.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt;">As I headed down the super slab, (the new Trans Canada Highway), to Grand Falls I had fresh Atlantic Salmon on the brain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had called my uncle and aunt to let them know what time I would be in Grand Falls to be told that my uncle had caught a fresh salmon! MMMMM…, after a great two hour visit with them and a very full belly, I headed over to the hotel. </span></div>

Although I have never eaten a dinner time meal here, the breakfasts here are fantastic and the syrup they use for their waffles is the real maple syrup but then you would expect nothing less while in New Brunswick, the home of Canadian Maple Syrup among other things!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt;">What I truly appreciate in this hotel are the entrances to your ground floor room. There is a card lock on both the out side and inside hallway doors. No need to go inside and unlock your room first, you simply pull up, open the screen door and use your room card to unlock the door. Another thing I appreciate is the cleanliness. I have stayed here 4 times in total and never once have I witnessed and unkempt or ill repaired room.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The showers have great water pressure and temperature, the pool area is wonderful with a sauna and whirlpool and the outdoor basket ball court and putting greens offer some additional activities over and above the exercise room.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The hotel also offers great conference and banquet rooms, perfect for hosting that motorcycle rally and or meeting!

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Following Joe’s recommendation we took 105 to Fredericton instead of staying on the Trans Canada – thanks for the map Joe! There were a few tricks to getting to the 105 but man oh man what a sweet stretch of road! Once I have some time to edit some video, I will post a video here as wel. The roads were wonderful, so pretty that words just don't do them justice!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">Once through Fredericton, I was destined for the Marriott Hotel and Ratman – Michael Schreoder of Germany was off to Baddeck on the Cabot Trail…we wished each other a safe journey and I called Stephanie to let her know I had arrived. It was a bad day to arrive in Moncton with all of the preparations for the upcoming U2 Concert. Traffic was very heavy and so it was decided that we would get together with Brian Stuart, special surprise – I got to see Mark Vale, Mark used to be a member of the Bike Club but now that he’s out of school he now works at Toy’s for Boys Harley-Davidson in Moncton. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">I was happy to see the young fella! We ate at the restaurant right across from the hotel. It’s a rather funny place to eat at. If you want to sit out on the deck, you kind of have to stock the other patrons to scoop their seats – they don’t believe in a waiting line or list – first come first served – made for an interesting evening.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><i><b>Day 23 of the 2011</b></i> Share the Road, Share the Ride Conga would prove to be a very easy travel day in spite of doing 850 Kms and having to navigate through three cities. Once out of Ottawa the traffic was moderate and everyone seemed in a good mood – it was a really pleasant day for travel!</span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I checked into my room at the Quality Inn Pres du Lac in St Andre, just out side of Grand Falls. After I unloaded my bike, I phoned my aunt and uncle to see if we could have a coffee together. I visited with them until about 11pm and then headed back to the hotel and my room for some much needed slumber. I love this hotel for many reasons. The staff are wonderful, the view from your room is fabulous, the breakfast is a small feast and the pool etc are an added bonus!</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I left Charlottetown at about 11:30 AM after a disturbing and frustrating call with Purolator. When it absolutely must get there - do NOT use this company. If you don't care if you ever get your package then give them a shot but from my experiences with this company - they never deliver on time and are more likely than to to loose your items...anyway I digress.</span></i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">On the road - finally, I thought I was going to get some much needed wind therapy. After a delay on the Confederation Bridge we finally got under way and after some time I ended up behind this Fish Co-op Truck - a semi, that started loosing all kinds of fishy salt water all over the highway, me and my motorcycle.</span><br />
<br />
When I was finally able to pass this guy I tried to signal to him that he had problems but typical of too many drivers today he thought I was a crazy lady and tried to pass me not once but twice....NO way I was getting behind him again...so I left him to continue spewing his rotten and foul smelling load all over the highway - and sadly any other unsuspecting motorist.<br />
<br />
Once in Moncton I found the Harley-Davidson/KTM/Honda dealer Toys for Big Boys and had them put on a new rear tire to replace the new rear tire that was on the bike but completely worn out ( Check out this Blog post for all of the details:<a href="http://beltdrivebetty.blogspot.com/2010/08/road-trips-and-your-motorcycles-tires.html"> http://beltdrivebetty.blogspot.com/2010/08/road-trips-and-your-motorcycles-tires.html</a>)<br />
<br />
The staff at this shop is so friendly and it didn't hurt that one of the kids from the Bike Klub works here (Mark Vale) and it also didn't hurt that Brian Stuart the man behind Harley tech talk works here too.<br />

He explained that the Bike Klub has use of the shop equipment but only has a small space to work in. He also explained that they could use a couple of really good bike lifts, a locking tool box and tools of their own as sharing them with the other classes that use the shop can be frustrating and discouraging.</div>

The Harley-Davidson demo truck was at Toys for Big Boys and it was a busy day at this dealership as a result.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
When I got to the shop Brian and Mark had my bike ready - new tire on and Mark was just washing some of the chum spray off of it for me.<br />
<br />
Brian explained to me all about my tire and what had happened to what I thought was a new tire (read my news blog to find out more about what happened to the tire and why: http://beltdrivebetty.blogspot.com/2010/08/road-trips-and-your-motorcycles-tires.html)<br />
<br />
Brian had a tech sheet for me complete with we bite information and took the time to explain to me what had gone on.<br />
<br />
The young men at the service counter were fantastic from the gent who took the call from Red Rock about me needing to get a tire changed to the young man who was my service adviser (Josh Cormier) - great staff. I can't say enough good things about them.<br />
<br />
$300 later and I was on a much safer bike to ride...my clutch handle had even been lubed as was my kick stand (after riding in all that rain they were a tad squeaky) Young Master Vale did a great job for me.<br />
<br />
I paid my bill and on the way out I was reminded to take extra care in corners for the first little bit...<br />
<br />
What wonderful care and concern - it is no wonder why this shop is so busy! What great staff.<br />
If you ever find yourself in need of a souvenir or work done on your bike and you are in their region..They are a Honda, KTM and Harley-Davidson dealer.<br />

Now to find my hotel....<br />
<br />
Next morning - after a fabulous sleep, Stephanie picked me up an took me all over Moncton.<br />
<br />
We stopped back at the dealership to take pictures with the staff because the ones I had taken the previous day did not turn out well.<br />

From the H-D shops in Charlottetown and Moncton to the many hotels/motels I have stayed at I have discovered that there truly are places where customer service still lives. The Holiday Inn Express in Moncton is such a place.</span></span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Caprice was the gal behind the counter who took care of me when I checked in. She asked for my name, found my reservation, we got my paper work filled out and then after she explained all of the amenities of the hotel - the pool, sauna and gym, she asked if there was anything else she could do to make my stay better. I asked about water and a bucket so I could give my bike another going over... (the H-D Shop had washed it, but I wanted to go over it again and use some Hogswipe to really clean her up and get her shining for my trip into Digby in a day and a half).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><i>The room was well appointed, everything a guest could hope for was there except the Internet in this room would not work - not the wireless or the hard wire...</i></span><br />
<br />
I called the front desk to see if there was something I was doing wrong...but it appeared I had everything right on my end - Caprice came down to the room to see if there was anything more that could be done and no, there was not - she explained they were just switching to a new service provider and they were having a few challenges in this wing so would I mind if they moved me to the other side of the hotel where she knew the Internet was working as the technicians had just finished the upgrade. She explained that unlike this room the one they wanted to put me in did not have a drive up but that i would be able to see my bike from the room.<br />
<br />
I agreed to the move as the Internet is kind of important to what I do. Caprice got a cart, we loaded all of my stuff and she hauled it to the room while I moved my bike.<br />
<br />
I get to to the room only to find it is a suite not a room and wow, the place was huge!<br />

<br />
A king sized bed, two night stands, a big closet, a bathroom you could hold a party in, a kitchen and a living room with a desk and office chair - SWEET!<br />
<br />
And yes - I could see my bike from the window. As promised the Internet worked perfectly - Caprice had actually ensured that by testing the connection BEFORE I was transferred to the room.<br />
<br />
Thank you Caprice for the fantastic Customer Service - this gal, like Michelle in Moncton really delivered and I am so deeply appreciative of the commitment to customers she exhibited. Another Customer Service Super Star!<br />
<br />
I finally got a bit of a chance to take in some of the Hotel as I had the need for a little something in my tummy and was delighted to have a muffin from the front desk (where they have coffee and tea with real creamer available all night long).<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It was truly like being taken back to the 60's and early 70's - the time of my childhood.</span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then there was the sauna - a real cedar sauna, the pool and hot tub along with the work out room. I availed myself of all of these amenities except the pool.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The room had doors pointing to the hall and the parking lot. I was disappointed in the room on a couple of levels: The electrical is not convenient to get to and the table was so small I had to move the coffee pot and information rack to the bureau that holds the TV and microwave/fridge so that I could set up my lap top and get some work done. The bed however was very comfortable and the rest of the room was very thoughtfully laid out.</span></div>
