Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far?

Had to take a day off today or I stop accruing vacation time. I left the house at 06:30 and rode up US 60 through Salt River Canyon and turned around and came back home. 242.7 miles, 43 MPG. Back home by 11:30 and it was already 112° out. Saw a big dead cow elk along the road near the canyon and some serious skid marks on the pavement.

Rode to Flagler Beach for lunch then to Jacksonville for the Iron Butt Rally Checkpoint 2. Got a chance to chat with a couple of the riders I know and look at some very cool set ups for long distance riding. Total ride was 340 miles.

Been riding a lot lately, but I really don't keep track. Most rides are about 100 miles. Great roads here, doesn't matter which way you head.

Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far?

Sent all my SCRC friends off to Wellsboro PA yesterday morning. I was supposed to go with them for our annual Canada Weekend but had to back out at the last minute.

After they departed I went for a ride on my own about 156 miles. When I got home stripped the beast and wash waxed her.

Good ride but not the same as PA

Riding on what? Did you get your bike repaired? Buy a new one?
