Congrats Soos!

Yeah, I live a couple miles off Exit 182 in Bangor and I debated telling you to stay on 95 to loop back to the Newport exit rather than take Rt 2 but I bit my tongue - it was a good choice on your part to do that. We talked a lot about taking 495 all the way but my partner wanted to do "the route" so we did 128.

Screw it -- Let's Ride

Did you leave Ed's that night and ride straight home?

Good choice about 495. That would have been a killer. It is a long loop around.

Hell no, went back to the Econo Lodge via a police "safety checkpoint" set up between the 2 rotaries. It was a "trip". Just glad they didn't ask me to get off the bike and walk a straight line. I was bone tired and would have had a hard time just getting off the scoot.
