Lol. Had this happen last week. Haven't been out for a couple of weeks with the heat and thunderstorms, but had a couple of real nice days. Was going for a quick 40 mile blast. 150 miles later, back in the driveway.

Yeah, Was supposed to do my home improvement project last week until a friend emailed me...Weather's finally cooperating, 4 days of no rain and C'mon...Let's go riding.

I went...Ugh, The heck with the project and went on a 938 mile trek up in NY's Adirondack Mountains. Did I regret ?. Heck No, I was happy and worked on my project every night after work this week. Soon to be done perhaps Sunday.

IMO, Riding's therapeutic,

Thorey

I had to reread your posting - I first thought you wrote that you went out "shopping for some trim"

Everytime I just "run out" for something or other I end up taking the long way home... and the long way home just keeps getting longer and longer... it's taken me awhile to catch on but I'm learning to take water with me now.
