Rode 254 miles yesterday, stared out around 6:45am under cloudy skies and chilly temps (47 degrees). About 70 degrees and partly sunny when I returned home. Nothing spectacular, just a nice enjoyable ride…!
but this stupid TPMS thing has re-appeared. It's thrown a BCM code, not sure if it's really the sensor or the Denali CANsmart as it screws up the lights every time it happens. I'm disconnecting the Denali stuff this afternoon and riding it again tomorrow to see if that helps troubleshooting.
But as many problems as people have with the TPMS, me included, it's hard to say
What a beautiful day to get out and ride with the Carolina Girl.
We needed to go to Hillsborough, NC and I just did not feel like running I-40 all the way. Especially through Greensboro, Burlington and Death Valley. So I picked out a nice 2 lane route for us to enjoy.
We rolled out around 9:30 am and out first stop was at 801 Southern for an awesome breakfast.
We hit I-40 for just a few short miles and rolled through the Twin Cities that Tobacco Built. We jumped off on Highway 158 through Stokesdale, Reidsville and took a break in Yanceyville. Such beautiful country side and nice farm land with horses, cattle with tobacco and soybeans growing.
In Hillsborough we got the last of the Daniel Boone marker photos needed for our HOg chapter challenge. That is such a quaint little town and there were several people dining on the sidewalk cafes.
We continued south on Hwy 86 through Chapel Hill, then took Hwy 501/15 to Pittsburg.
Then we ran Hwy 64 west all the way home through Asheboro and Lexington. We stopped in Asheboro for a milkshake and we both got brain freeze!
357.7 today, Sunday. Most of it through the fall colors of the Adirondack Mts. on a blue sky day. Everything was almost at 90% peak colors. Yikes!
Found a biker bar in Minerva, NY on 28N. I musta been by here a dozen times and never gave much notice. This hamlet is less than 900-souls.
But today we saw a ton of bikes in the gravel lot, so we locked it up and turned in.
The bar is a legit biker bar. Inside is a massive, decades in the making, collection of motorcycle memorabilia and several old machines. Plus bicycles, old ADK logger chainsaws, ect. ect.
But if you're a democrat, maybe keep that to yourself in this establishment. Just sayin'
The Carolina Girl and I road Belinda downtown for the last Cruise In of the year. There was a very nice turn out. Following we joined some friends at Millers for a foot long hot dog.
Funny but there was an open space in the middle of the show and we parked the bike there. We had three different couples come up admiring the bike and asking questions.
Rode over to Smoky Mountain Bike week in Marryville TN for a few hours. Ride over and grocery stop totaled 132 miles, perfect weather. I'll probably ride over again this afternoon
Yesterday, I took advantage of a holiday, and an unusual October day in the 80s, and put in an awesome 360 miler which took me through the northern part of Adirondack Park. Just a gorgeous day. Today's looking to be another day in the 80s, too!
