I just want to THANK carsick (Doug) for a great time riding in VT sunday. My wife and I had a great time as I'm sure Travis and his wife had. 200 plus mi. great way to end a perfect riding season. (surgery wedsday)
I'm sure Travis will post some pics soon. Hopefully he has a pic of on top of the mountain, snowbanks and all.
Thanks again Doug

      30 degrees, wind blowing (hard) and a little rain. Finally riding season is here.

I guess i misunderstood the wives when they said "Lets hurry up and get off the top of the mountain"   

My bad   :pardon:

Bob, you are very welcome sir! I had a blast showing off my bumpy roads and "challenging" weather. Thank your wife for me, I would have understood if she said too cold at our first stop. Good thing the sun came out (or we caught up to it). Best of luck with the operation, you need to be better than new for ice racing! Oh, and that ain't the top of the mountain, there's a road that goes 1500' higher to the top of the ski area. I decided at the time not to mention it. Hope your package stayed put all the way home. And I forgot the cheese, guess I'll have to make a delivery.

Looks like you guys and gals had a fun ride.. Quality heated gear will extend your riding season until the roads freeze.....

I was trying to avoid a mutiny. How you say, discretion is the better part of valor? Woulda needed chains, either on the back tire or to keep the passengers on. Besides, gotta leave a little teaser for the next time, keeps ya coming back...
