first ride of the season!

#1 Unread post by oxbow1 »

well, tomorrow I'm finally heading out for my first ride of the season.
the longest I've ever riden is 30 m round trip.
this is going to be 100 m ride.
I'm as anxious as baby in a topless bar. :lol:

Have a good ride man, and watch out for the holiday traffic. I put about 70 miles on my bike today, and I'm hoping to put another 80 on it riding down to my parent's house on Monday. Tomorrow... no riding. Too much to do. :( My furthest single ride so far - 67.4 miles.

I'm racking up the miles, I've already ridden 18% of the 2107 miles Brackstone had on this bike. But I'm definitely a firm believer in practice making a person better at things.

well, didn't do 100m ,90 is close though.
so now I have 100+ miles on my new tires.
I hooked up with this guy from West Milford area on craigs list, cool dude
wants to ride on sundays, we meet at the A+P on union valley rd in west milford at 11:00 am.
today it was just the 2 of us and we went up into Orange county NY and around Greenwood lake.Great ride all around.
we stopped at his friends hot dog stand for lunch.
we want to get a bigger group and we were talking trips to Bear MT,Highpoint, PA, further into NY state.
if you guys want to go let me know we'll hook up.
he rides a vulcan 1600 and his buddies are harley guys but not snobs,I dais I felt like the poor kid on the block with my Honda at lunch time and the HD dudes were like so what, you're riding aren't ya?

I was very impressed with the sebin piddy had enough juice to get up hills and enough extra for escape velocity

I'll need more road time before I can ride with others. I do great on the highway, but I take turns/offramps like a "wimp".

nothing but 2 lane roads bro, over hill, over dale, past farms, through the mountains.
whenever you're ready let me know,I'm still a rookie too and it was easy.
