It's been a while since I rode some where for fun so when Kres asked if I was interested I jumped. Met up at the Aldie mill (neat place if you have never toured it) and then rode down to Griffin Tavern for dinner via some most excellent dirt and pavement. Burger was great as was the company. Rode home via more sweet pavement and dirt, avoiding all hooved vermin along the way.
This after a weekend of parades and sawdust and mikey is a happy boy.

+a million to what Maria said.
An adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered.

Happy day for you! 
I am still looking for it. I bet I don't have 1000 miles on my bike so far this year, with the new house, business travel, vacations, and work!
Hopefully soon...
Jim

Mike,
Excellent!
And now that you've found your helmet and the keys to your bike, you can do it again real soon!
