Taking the RT to Greensboro today for the holiday weekend. Supposed to be beautiful weather! Still haven't packed or picked an exact route. It's times like these that I wish I had a GPS. Thumbsdown


GPS are nice when you are lost.  For picking routes not so good.  It will always take you on roads you don't want.  Such as interstates.  Unless riding interstates is your thing.

Not true!  Sometimes they direct you down single track goat paths.  Crazy Lol

Actually you can program most to avoid traffic, interstates, gravel roads, and such. But yeah... they are FAR from fool proof, and I should know.  Bigsmile

There are so many...  But apparently tossing quotes from 80s movies into regular conversation, no matter how incredibly appropriate they may be, just makes you weird.  Meh.  I'll take weird.  Funny is funny.

Meet the twins:

We went to a company picnic (Dot works there and I used to) which explains the background.  Otto, the white one, is a keeper.  Toto, the red one, is awaiting a further decision by Dot.

Love the Minsters! But, I am seriously confused now.

Are you possessed by the spirit of the Ducks?

Once the cast is off - we should do a DS/Tard ride with a 700cc limit.

Not us.  Though we did get by Duc Pond Motorsports and Battley's, getting luggage for the Twins.  I can take or leave Battley's.  We will go back to Duc Pond -- cool place and people.   Thumbsup


Edited to add:  And Coleman's.  Toto got his 1k km check up.  Ready to rev to 7k RPM for 1k km more!

Not this weekend,  but Thursday and Friday I rode my bike back from Vermont. So I am once more bike empowered (which means, of course, I leave it parked for most of the time while on kid duty).
