     FINALLY dried out here bouts so Phatter Ghurl took me into the wind. Had a Route sorta planned But Possibble flooding of one area bridge and I changed er up. Still got near 100 miles and actually boxed the compass. Somewhat technical with the Valkyrie but a bit more technical with the trike and I worked some Harder! And found out Phatter Ghurl has a Nasty way of lettin you KNOW if yer in ANY Curve Too FAST! And was reminded me a Bunch this RIDE cuz I was Pushing the Envelope! As da prez pointed out and others already sittin a trike the 6 degree tree Will Help. BUT I have to Be Able to git 500 or so miles due north for the triple tree mod. STILL in a learning curve as a W A G! BUT I ain't bout to give up as AGAIN it were brought out I Did in FACT miss RIDING! I will make a STRONG Recommendtion for some Teriffic Eye Candy near my 20. Should you be in the vicinity Mo. 17 N out of Houston Mo. Follow that up to Mo. 38 W and right after you git onto 38 W look to the SOUTH at the way those valleys and hills roll away. There Is a turn out there But you must NOT accelerate or you WILL Miss the turn out! All in ALL dang Good RIDE!  cooldude cooldude RIDE SAFE.

Sounds like a good ride.  I have been, shall we say, restrained. Working on getting a short ride tomorrow.

       Well today I got the ride in I wanted to do Yesterday! And seems like MAYBE avoiding that low water crossing might could have been 1 of my better ideas! When I got to that bridge I slowed Way down and the water Was Still touching the lower portions of that bridge. But as to the reast of that RIDE chamber of commerce day! You know the day city fathers extoll the virtues of their little burg somewhere! Sunshiny fluffy white cotton lookin clouds playin tag with Phatter Ghurl and the tree shadows. Called the gear selection right too. Leather jacket light weight pendelton shirt as it was high 60s low 70s here bouts today. Got rid of the long sleeves at Theodosia Mo. and the next 70 miles or so were somewhat technical fer me and the trike. And She quity shouting at me today and used a normal tone of voice! And pretty sure in the not THAT far future she'll be whisperin to me like Phatt Ghurl used to. Dang gooder day fer some WIND THERAPY!  cooldude Tryin to recollect the When I Became a RIDER but Not all that important the when thingy.  Roll Eyes Just that I AM Is enough fer this old guy!  smitten And Still am! RIDE SAFE.
