ADV Day Ride 5/31 or 6/1

[Firebolter]

If you can make it and want to ride together up 97 and 33 from Annapolis, let me know. I’ll be coming from Kent Island. Or if you want to ride a different route from Annapolis, that works for me.

I leave my house and go out Crownsville road to 97 and I really don't even get on 97, I merge on 97 from 178 and I stay in that lane to the right that goes onto 32, so we could meet at my house if you want, I'll PM you my address. You be here at 730, we can be at the Exxon in Eldersburg right at 915-

I got an email from work and Howard County has elevated the COVID status to MASK required indoors, so not sure if we will need them, but I am gonna bring one just in case we stop somewhere to eat or whatever, and they have a sign requiring masks.

See you tomorrow at your place at 730

Good ride today with Bart and John. Was a bit toasty towards the end but we took all back roads on the way home and had a great time. Some dust but not too bad. Hit reserve for the first time and was a bit WTF but rode 5 miles to my exit off 32 and filled up. A tenere, a nineR and a suki 400! Good stuff!

Great day and Bill’s backroads on the way back were terrific. I learned a lot about the R9T, most importantly that turning off the ASC off road is a must, and that the R9 is going to be just fine. I put 319.7 miles on it today. We pretty much rode the Ridge Rd through and back.

Don't forget the sample post ride lubricant I gave you!

[John F]

Just put poured some on the rocks, and I pretty instantly feel way better. Thanks. The day just keeps getting better.

Thanks guys! 300 plus miles and nothing got seriously broken. My 100mile ass sure hurts though. I saw Bill doing some stand up riding too.

I saw Bill doing some stand up riding too.

DAMN right you did! And I have a Seat Concepts Comfort seat! But when your ass is 64 years old, and you ride literally all day (no lunch break just gas and water) it just doesn't comply like earlier days when I laughed in the face of the Sun God!!!

I mean John and I rode from 730 to 5pm and all we did was stop, get gas and drink some water. No lunch stop or food break---just ride. John and I got a egg mack f_ck f_ck at 9am before we met Bart, but that was it.

Good times and good ride. Next time we will do all of the other roads we didn't up and down. There is alot more than Ridge road! We ride backwards how we came home! And then we can do the 26 east to blah blah home-
