TSConver Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Weather really looking like crap. Refrigerator is waiting on parts likely early next week. What a week... May just come and hang out with my wife and meet some folks Friday evening. No way my wife will ride if it is raining all day which it now looks like. 85% chance and upwards of an inch predicted for Saturday. At least make use of the cabin since it is not refundable and maybe hits the Wheels museum. 1 Link to comment

RT_Jim Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Columbus, OH got a little snow as well.... about 2"! I'll shovel the walk this morning, mow the yard this afternoon, and then jump on the bike to head towards Maggie this evening. Got to love Ohio in the spring. 5 Link to comment

Indy Dave Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Bernie's granddaughter's gymnastics meet that's this weekend has been moved from North Carolina to Alabama. Originally he was going to depart Friday or Saturday. But due to the change in venue, we had to part ways this morning. The weather is great here, had a wonderful ride today! 5 Link to comment

No problems, I was also hoping to meet you and a lot of the other folks. But the Covid restrictions in North Carolina forced the USA Gymnastics to move the regional competition to a different state. Originally it was planned for Greensboro, which is a few hour ride from Maggie. Oh well, hopefully I can catch up with everyone in the next few events. I did get to meet @TEWKS. During my ride with him and @Boxflyer , in Roan, TN, Brad got to practice his tire plugging skills. Impromptu tech day. 4 Link to comment

Owner came by to chat with us and let us know he appreciated our business and rode a Gold Wing. Good riding day. Snow, ice on the rocks and 30 degrees on top of the mountain. 6 1 2 Link to comment
narcosis Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hat's off to Bernie on the route planning. The route I rode yesterday was scenic, and very curvey. The download worked flawlessly in my Nav V and there were no glitches during the ride other than me missing a turn. The nice Garmin lady immediately asked me to do a u-turn. All good. Thanks again Bernie! 5 2 Link to comment
John Ranalletta Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hats off to Bernie for the routes and Dave for wrangling the event and everybody else who contributed time and effort. Thank you. 2 Link to comment
