In most people's terms, it was a short ride but for me, it was a pretty long one. I left Austin Wednesday morning and rode up to the Texas/Oklahoma border to visit family.
Took I-35 through Ft Worth on the way up, through Gainesville and over to Sherman. Visit my mom/dad at the cemetery, ran up the the border and into Oklahoma (turned around and left as quickly as I could), went over to Lake Texoma and then bedded down at my daughter's place in Sherman.
Left out Thursday morning, down hwy 75/Central Expressway through Dallas (met a really nice Texas State Trooper just north of McKinney to get my performance award warning ). Down I-35 back home. Didn't take too many pictures but here's the best of what I did take.
Round trip, 580 miles. Total moving time: 8 hours and 48 minutes. Moving average: 66mph. This was the first "long" ride I've taken on this bike since I got it about 3 months ago and this was the shake-down tour. All in all, the bike passed the test with flying colors.
At my daughter's place, Rubik had company in the parking garage. Due to the volume of bugs in his teeth, he had to look away in embarrassment.
