    Saturday- Tentatively ~12pm at my house, destination Fred'burg, 99 miles of CURVES, and merely 1 mile of major highway. Time could change depending on several factors, but would probably be 1pm at the latest. Should be done with plenty of daylight left.

    Yes, right now it looks like it'll be 5 of us. And I won't be home til almost 1.

    Tomorrow's ride will begin at 0930 at Starbucks across from Short Pump Mall. High of 72, hoping to cover at least 300 miles and back to Richmond by dark.

    Couldnt make it out on Saturday. I had some family in town to deal with. Sunday I went out and about with a friend. Ran up and down 211 a couple of times. There was only one spot that had some loose stuff on the road. Then we head out west and did some exploring. Ended up with about a 300 mile trip. I need to do something about my pegs. I scrapped both the left and right side feelers on the way up the mountain. Didn't really like the feel of the peg kicking up when all my weight is planted on said peg!

    Find any good roads out there? It was weird sweating all day in the unseasonably warm sun but I wasn't complaining! We did 300 miles as well down south with minimal traffic interference.

    Really didnt find to much. The rider I had with me had to be back earlier than I had planned. So I couldn't get out to far. I should have headed south and met up with you guys. But most importantly this great day was not wasted!!

    Unscrew them while you still can. Mine are snapped off. Now I will have to tap them to remove the stubs.

    It was my pleasure, Ron. That's a beauty of a 25th anniversary model you have there. For the record, we rolled out of Fredericksburg and headed through the Chancellorsville battlefields. Through Richardsville and on through Edward's Shop to Remington. From there we hopped on down to Brandy Station past the Graffiti house and on to Stevensburg. Headed out through Batna and wound around to Lignum. Rode Rt. 3 back to Wilderness where we stopped for coffee to warm up. Good ride and good company. Sorry I had to cut it short to go clean house, but my Mom was coming for a visit and my wife would have had a conniption or two if I didn't pitch in and help. Next time we'll head for the Blue Ridge.

    You'll have to come down to my house, if the grinder can't take care of them I'm sure Rt. 56 can!

    Looks like a high of only 58. Probably do some more parking lot stuff with emphasis on braking. Next Mon, Tues, and Wed are looking good though, should be in the 60's.

    Yeah, its this red gooey stuff followed by big brown piles that are usually off to the shoulder. You have to be careful though cause sometimes the piles are still moving and with no early warning red goo.
