Brenda has ridden with me to the weekly gatherings at Kings Cafe in Montgomery the last 3-4 weeks, but that's only about 30 miles each way.
Today was the first time we've ventured well beyond that and she did well. We wound up doing 170 miles in a leisurely 5 hours including time for lunch at Kings on the way home. We ran up 149 to Anderson, down 3090 to Hwy 6, over to Millican and down 159, back to Anderson via 90, down to Navasota on 1774, and then back in on 105. Some of this was a repeat of yesterday's ride with Steve and Jan (electrified and silverstreak) so I appreciate them "showing me the way".
For those who haven't been on it, 3090 is a good one. Up, down, left, right... repeat.
I'm still getting used to having the extra mass on the bike so we kept the speeds down and I only made one error with that hard right turn into Richards when I crossed the line by about a foot.
Full report and a couple of photos
