Default Bunch of Wusses

Yes, I know it was 41 degrees this morning in the Shenandoah Valley; I was there, two others from another board were there, and we rode, turned on the grip heaters and made a lot of hot coffee stops (and associated bladder breaks) and rode much of the back roads around Catoctin State Park ( http://www.nps.gov/cato/ ). and managed to find some of the gnarliest, switchbackin', high-speed-low-drag, up-and-down-de-mountain roads I've been on in a while (you suckers that live near the Gap, shut-up).

Ya'll shoulda been there....


Bunch 'a leakers.........

Well, that's what I got today. Not riding anywhere. Forget about the house project, pouring rain and wind is plenty to keep me inside.

Sorry, all we did was ride, gas, drink coffee, pee and ride some more, to the tune of about 200 miles before the rains moved in.

This is where we went

Plus, we rode a lot of the twisty stuff in the middle of the circle up and down the mountain.
