Took a Short trip to Upstate New York the other day. Left Apex NC on Saturday morning and rode all day. Left at 6:30am and arrived in Queensbury NY around 9pm. The ride up wasn't to bad other than the temperature was over 100 degrees and taking the Jersey turnpike sucks ass. Finally arriving at the house I met up with my sister and the family. Sunday was a day I very much needed. The view and relaxation and the poor cell service was awesome. For a mini vacation I felt very relaxed. For the ride home it wasn't so hot which was nice. Cool breeze in the morning till about noon. But it never broke 100. Coming into Fredericksburg I hit some horrible traffic. Leaving the main highway to avoid overheating the bike I took a few side roads to bypass everything. About a half hr later I found my way back onto 95 and back up to speed and away I went. Finally Made it south of Richmond and got off of 95 and onto 85 and BAM storms hit and i'm sitting under a bridge somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The sky seemed to lighten up a little so I went for it. All the way from southern Richmond VA to Apex I rode through heavy storms the entire way. Finally getting home around 11pm soaking wet and tired but with a total trip of 1500 miles I think it's time to invest in a new seat and new music. Here are some pictures..
