My First Trip

[dUh!_imp]

Friday August 22nd our first group ride – route was 129 N through Deals Gap; N on Foothills Parkway; E on Little River Rd; S on 441; W on 19; S on 143 back to the cabin. Not many miles, but for our first group ride of 9 – it took a while. It was a great day of riding. The roads, scenery …. truly spectacular. I cannot express the amount of fun I had this day. A day of riding, that will stick with me forever.

Idiot deep in thought

It didn't happen all the time, but this one time, we were being good.

After Deals Gap, I am in front looking for the Foothill Parkway turn off. I passed it doing 50MPH - speed limit 45MPH. Everyone was really happy about that.

Despite all the warnings - yes we all made at least 1 stupid move before the weekend was over. This time - it wasnt me. Rodney and Josh were doing something and Rodney runs wide
