Nice Ride Today

Elmo · Oct 11, 2010

I gassed up the Flying Dutchman this morning and took off for a longish ride. Made 85 miles before I got back home. Weather was nice 60 degrees when I left and 79 when I got back home 5 hours later. stopped and visited with my uncle for awhile, he is 86 and still working every day. He is the last of the older generation on my mothers side. Saw my dad for a little bit, he is 98 and the last of his side.
The bike did very well, not even a hiccup. .trk

Awesome! It seems the ride did give you a good mood! I read an article about ride before. A young man just decided to ride across our country after he said goodbye to his girlfriend. Of course there are a lot of mountains and plateaus in his journey. But he succeed at last. The ride also consoled his hurt sole.

Had another good one today. Left home, went to town and bought a new speedometer for the Flying Dutchman. Met a bunch of bikers for Christ and had a really good time with them. Then got on the Natchez Trace and rode to Rocky Springs and back home. Clocked 124 miles and averaged 26.5 mph. I was glad to get off the bike when I got home though. Thats 205 miles in two days, the most that I have done.

That's a lot of riding Elmo! I have done several 70+ mile days, but most are in the 35-50 mile range.

Heart warming that you saw your uncle and dad too.

My dad has a motorized bike now...he called me to tell me how great a time he had on it yesterday.
