Thursdays Ride

Me and a friend rode rt 7 from Rutland,VT to Danbury,CT,jumped on I-84 east to I-91 north to home. 447 miles. The rt 7 part was relaxing and enjoying with much scenery and interesting sights. I-84 and the first part of I-91 sucked we hit the interstates right about the get out of work time plus summer traffic. Its like a parking lot except rolling at 70-80MPG,lol.

Much north of Springfield,Mass its back to rural nice. We finished breakfast at 8am and got home at 6:30PM. It was a good day.

I met a cool old man who was riding rt 1 from Palm Spring,FL to Maine and counting traffic lites of all things. He said by time he'd gotten to New Haven he'd counted 1762 lites thus far,lol. He was a riding fool and has a nice blog. You can find it by googling Dr. Bob's US Northeast Motorcycle ride or try rhopkins.us. We met him south of Hartford as he detoured to take a picture of the capital...another hobby. He rode and swore by a RG Ultra.

Wish I owned a pool. Would have been nice to have just jump right in when I got home. Good times.

Heres the ride:
