    Going for a ride 7/6

    Anyone up for joining? I was thinking Bishop's Castle, but I'm open to possibilities.

    I do promise I'll try to keep up, but can't promise I will! lol

    You should promise NOT to try and keep up.
    I've got more flavor than a packet of macaroni.

    Lol we had some slight sprinkles on the way back, but after we split in the Springs, it came down! Had to pull over into Taste of Philly to stay any semblance of dry... Oh the hardships I endure... lol

    We hardly got anything. Going from 25 to 24 we got maybe 45 seconds of hard rain and then nothing after that.

    Clovis and I basically rode Hwy 9 back and forth 4 times yesterday. At a brisk pace it's a fun ride.
