Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far?

"TheRedPowerRanger" rolls again, went for a ride on the Bandit again, clocked about 225-250 miles from Cleveland over to Suches, Ga. through WolfPenGap, then across BloodMtn., then through Delonega, Ga. to Elijay, Ga. then across FortMtn. then through Chattsworth, Ga then back to Cleveland. Took along a friend that works with me who has a ZX10 Ninja, I'm sorry if we about ran anyone outta the road, cause we were hauling the mail!(lol) No, really the Bandit is offically "ForSale" I've got to get ride of it, (no self-control) before I'm very sorry for doing something STUPID....

Same here, I wanted to ride up to Guelph to get a new rain suit but it looked like rain and forecast called for Thunder Storms - don't like "thunder storms on my bike!

I took the 'cage' and guess what by the time I got there the sun was shining and it was really nice - go figure.

Was a beautiful day here to go for a nice ride , did 400km/ 250miles . This was the longest ride since I got the nomad heck since I got my license (2mths now ) . She ran flawlessly and was a blast just cruising comfortably at 55-65mph .

too bad you didn't get hold of me, I would have joined you Ross. Glad you had a good day. Thanks for the email BTW

I did some time on two wheels. I set up the half tennis balls and did some parking lot practice for a couple of hrs.. Then didn't go far but went out for a few hrs. and stopped for coffee here and there and did some people and bike watching.

I rode down to Casa Grande and back, about 60 miles. Longest ride for me in about a month. It was cooler today and temps were in the mid-70's on my ride. Just about right. Paid $3.639/gallon for 91 octane in CG. That's about $.20 per gallon cheaper than in Phx.

Took one of my regular rides today from Boaz, AL to Guntersville, AL. Always good being able to stop and view the Tennessee River. Total miles ridden today was 35.

Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far?

Sunday my wife and I rode south on US 71 to Y-City.
Went east on US 270 to Mt. Ida, then north on AR 27 to Danville.
From Danville we went west on AR 10 back to the house. 214 miles

Monday we didn't have much time so we rode one of my favorites.
We went to Alma, AR. and headed north on US 71.
The 18 miles from just south of Mountainburg to Winslow is a great road.
Turned around and went home. 85 miles.

It was extremely hot today as it was about 96 but I did take a short ride. Had a couple of errands to run. Only about 5 miles total for the day.

It was grossly hot here and they may have set a record that has stood since 1944 - 67 years! Should have been 32C or 89.6F.

Rode to work and a few errands but wasn't dressed for any thing long distance only about 15 miles.

Rode about 25 miles today. Bright and early to Discount MC Tire for a new Metzler ME880 on the front to replace the cupped and whining Bridgerock; then the long way home to scrub the mold release stuff off using the asphalt abrasion technique.

Rode to work and then after work went and met with my chapter of Southern Cruisers - it was ride night and we were going for ice cream. Unfortunately I had a TV guy coming to look at my system and couldn't go. Only got in 17 miles.
