After our last few days of getting away after 9am, a unilateral decision was made (that would be a "field decision") to get going by 8am. Well almost 8am, try 8:30am, we are now on the home stretch, US#19 from Beckley to Sutton, WV on through Pittsburgh, PA, Erie, PA and Buffalo, NY. I-79 passes Pittsburgh to the West of the city, so you never actually go through the hart of the city. From past trips Pittsburgh has a very interesting centre core, and again with better weather and more time a good spot to visit.
I mentioned weather, it changed overnight, heavy cloud, fog, heavy rain at 2am and FOG!, made for an interesting run through West Virgina. But just as we approached Pittsburgh the sun came out and it was blue skies and +3C all the way home.
We were in Erie, PA at 15:15 and home in Niagara-on-the-Lake at 17:50, would we do this again - you bet, having the motorcycle in Key West was a blast and it was worth some of the aggravation the trailer poses on a trip like this.
Here are the statistics:
- Total Distance: 6,208km
- Total Driving Time: 83hrs 6mins (That is when the engine is running)
- Avg fuel in Liters/100km: 16.6
- Avg Speed: 75kmh
