Assateague Island National Seashore that is. Wasn't all that far of a ride. I put about 120 miles on it today, 372 miles total so far. Really liking the Seat Time sub forum so I thought I'd share my day here.

I headed south into Maryland thru Bishopville and continued south on Saint Martins Neck Rd. towards the Isle of Wight. Real pretty road and just a fun road to ride. Jumped on Rt.90 west to Ocean Pines and Rd 589 to Rt.50. From there 707 to 611 and south to the Island.

It's been raining here for a week or more but today was just beautiful with plenty of sun. The ride was great but not sure about that seat. Had to get off a couple times but all in all it wasn't that bad. Hopefully It'll soften up some as I ride. Assateague is a real nice park with plenty of wildlife to see. Didn't see any Sika Deer but did see some Whitetail. Of course, plenty of wild Ponies wandering around. The park was pretty busy but having had my park pass made it easier. No waiting to get in. First pictures are from the Isle of Wight area and the rest are in the park. I was using my iPhone camera today. Have a nice DSLR but haven't figured out how to bring it along. Bought a nice backpack but still trying to work that part out. I think I'm going with the rear rack a maybe a hard box that's lockable. I'd be interested in see what other people are doing.

So far I'm really liking my new CB1100 and getting used to riding again. Turning 50 next weekend so I took a couple extra days off. My next ride will be on Friday to either the Blackwater Refuge or maybe Chincoteague Island. Hopefully my Dad will be able to ride with me. Well, thanks for looking.

Great pics and story, klink. Thanks for sharing. There can never be enough seat time reports as far as I'm concerned.

As for THAT seat: good luck. In my experience, the longer the day, the greater the agony. AirHawk is my answer.

Great pics! It was nice seeing the sun today, wasn't it? Didn't get good here until later in the day but I managed to get a few miles in.

AirHawk looks interesting. Which model do you use?

The Cruiser Medium.

Man it was nice. Was starting to think it was never going to stop. Little more this week though. Should be a nice weekend.

Thanks Cormanus. I'll look into them.

Nice pics.

That's a neat island.I bowhunted the Sitka deer there in the early 90's and saw the wild horses too. Never saw any whitetails.
