Sunny, low 90s and humid, a good day to ride. This was the start of the ride...around 11 AM on Forest Hill Avenue. I was headed to the Greek Festival on Malvern Avenue in Richmond, VA. I have some other photos from the ride on my Richmond and Me Page, and will have some photos as well on my Photo Page from what was a most interesting day on the motorcycle. Got in some good riding, and had a lot of fun today with visits to some old places as well as some new ones. Nice combination, and a very good day on the bike. It was a very, very good day to go for a ride. Went early to escape the worst of the heat.
Went into Richmond, this church across from Monroe Park had something going on. I also went to the newly opened Mellow Mushroom in Carytown after the Greek Festival, and got on the highway for a while to go to Ashland, VA. That is a very cool town.
I had been to Ashland before, it is a railroad/college town, and had a lot of near places to explore. Though I got there via the highway, came back via VA 1 which was a lot more sedate and scenic. I like the backroads better than the highways, plus there is just a lot more to see via that route. On the way back to Richmond, made a quick stop at Richmond International Raceway. Have been there once since I have been here (to an Indy Car race, but they no longer host that series there) but it was good to see it again.
All in all it was a very good ride, saw some places I had not seen in awhile, some new places and traveled on both some old and new roads. It was a great time, and I was certainly glad to get a really good ride in. Looking forward to my next adventures in Richmond, VA.
