You know, this weather just won’t stop! I can’t believe we had another excellent weekend. I know I told everyone who asked that I would not be riding this weekend. I know I said I had too many things to do to get ready for the next two big rides. I really did. The wife really, really wanted to go riding so I did not want to deny her needs. We ended up throwing the tent on the bike and going camping up to Tionesta. Had a great time. We rode to Tionesta, set up the tent, and then did the 666 to 6 to 66 loop. You just have to like that loop because of all the sixes! This morning we headed north into New York and then back across along Lake Erie and home. It was really nice too do a more relaxed ride. We only rode 400 miles total for the entire weekend. Saturday night we went to sleep and did not wake up for 11 hours! I justified this ride as preparation for the week long ride in October. I’ll be camping on that trip and I figure this would be good practice to see if I had everything I need. I guess I already knew that but I did need an excuse for riding instead of doing what needed done.
Don’t forget that next weekend is the Virginia ride! This is going to be a spectacular ride. The weekend after that I am leaving for the Gap. I am probably going to take several days on the way down to ride the Parkway.
