Picture: I don't think we are in Kansas anymore REB
Took my first ride in Virginia today. The first little ride was just to get gas and to see how the Bullet survived the two day ride in the back of the truck. It was 40 degrees and clear as a bell when the big single fired up with the first stab of the electric foot. I gave it a good warm up and headed for the gas station. I could tell right away that riding in Virginia is a lot different than Kansas.............traffic, hills and curves. The drivers here have the same annoying trait as back home, they don't really want to pass, they just want you to go faster than they do. They think by riding your tail you will go faster, speed limit be damned.
After lunch I set out on my first serious ride. Massanutten ski resort is just a few miles away and after 10 miles of four lane craziness I turned off onto some very nice two lanes with an abundance of hills and twisties. The resort itself appeared very nice even if the runs were all man made snow.
I took the long way home (def: he's lost) and I believe I probably saw more curves in two hours than I have seen in Kansas in the last two months. Now if there weren't so many cars.
Tomorrow looks to be a little warmer so I think I will ride West and see what WVA looks like.
