Default First big ride

Well after having my sporty 2 weeks and leaning to ride it, I set out with a friend of mine from work whos been riding years. My biggest ride to date before today was 22 mile. We took a lot of back roads but nothing to taxing. Stopped for a bottle of water and took in some mountain views up around exit 407 on I40. We then headed south and came out below Maryville and stopped for some high class cusine (double cheese burgers from McDonalds) then headed back to Knoxville. I was out for about 3 1/2 hours and clocked 116 miles, which may not sound a lot to some but considering I had never rode a bike until two weeks ago it was good for me. I had fun and can't wait till my next ride or should I say longer ride as I plan to ride to work this coming week as long as the weather holds out.

I thinks its russian dressing (kethcup, mayo, relish)

I didn't either until youtube and all of its magic powers revealed the best kept secret at mcdonalds, that mac sauce is free!!! so is lettuce and onions i believe so you can have a big mac without the middle piece of bread for like a dollar


The option on the kiosk is "add sauce" if the n00b at the counter cant find it someone had to tell the guy who i got them from the first time,

The best part is you get a smiley face sticker on your burger wrapper that says "Have a nice day!"


Have you tried the Burger King Stacker?

No I seldom frequent BK the wife doesn't like it so I never tend to go. I like the Hardy's but a little pricey, but you can't beat a $1 burger.... I will definately try the sauce deal next time....this is the kind of stuff they should be teaching at school - real world stuff - not whats the capital of Kenya, theres books for that, no-ones ever written a book about real life deals....maybe there a niche market there
