Dot and I will be stuntin' on four wheels down around a university this weekend. Her younger daughter is graduating and there are many festivities surrounding the event. Have fun out there. That sounds like fun -- enjoy.

Welcome. Small group rides form regularly. Even when there is a large group -- speed differentials seem to make small groups form.

I just returned from the shop -- good news is the track bike is back. 1.0 springs pulled out, traxxion .925 springs with new buffers and oil put in. Steve and I even have new spiffy dial preload adjusters -- no wrenches needed. Bad news -- got there at 2030 -- returned at 0200. Seems there is a WERA weekend in Ohio. Our bike was behind the racers' in line. . ..

I have been issued a pass Saturday from 9:30 - 1:00 (meaning 2:00 ) Saturday is also the ST's 3rd birthday and will pass 30K miles on that ride. Anyone up for a 4 hour spin with PIE? Wow, 3 years already?? No wonder I want to sell it. Maybe we should just trade plastics for a while. It'll be like having a new bike.

I might be able to get out for a longish ride at 12:00 - 7:00 Sunday. Any interest in a Rt 50-33 loop? Other ideas?

Today I'm on my brother's y2k VFR. This bike has some sort of problem that makes it stand up a LOT. Maybe its the Staintune. No problem with this clutch. I rarely shift.

Given back-to-back international travel, my attendance is unlikely. Sounds like a job for MacGyver -- you all could race to the first bend to see who gets dropped first. . ...

I jump the pond tonight, but before departing, DNA and I stormed the Loudoun Backside with irreverent audacity. Read; too fookin' fast. We didn't get harrassed by rain until after sipping down a warm funkadelic scented brown brew at the pie stop. No pictures, no b/s, top speed 110.
That is all.

Add in a gas station pic and you have a ride report. I ran a few sessions at Summit Jefferson -- knee pucks were used -- then it rained. That is all. (except for needing Duck to detail the race ride. . ..)

We wish -- just a collection of poor souls whose jobs require travel. Now, am I complaining that my job is sending me to Sweden on Tuesday? No. Come out and ride -- just bring a camera. Seems that DNA and Mac are anti-photo these days. . ..

That is all.
What he said with correction noted. Any and all squidly behavior was done a a closed track by professional drivers. How they got my GPS is a mystery. The lurking deputy on Rt 7 was in his regular place. We passed him at 60 in the rain. I'm sure he will be there again.
