Good time today. Been a strange weekend, it was supposed to be a heavy rain weekend, at one time we had a 70% chance. Never got a drop. It was also supposed to be cool and less humid...that did not happen either. Oh well, a good day to ride. I got the bike out of the storage unit, for the last time...rates have been going up (and up, and up) and frankly looking at some of the bikes that stay out and under covers they look fine. Figure what the hell...be nicer at home. Stored it 1.3 miles from here, but be a lot better when all I have to do is walk outside and ride it. I also went out and got a parking sticker for work (at work) so can ride it in from time to time there.
I also then went out for lunch at Alamo BBQ in Church HIll...like that place and got the Cuban with some potato salad, and an Arnold Palmer (which is Lime-Aid with ice tea) and very good. Got to say, that is my second one.
Got to wander some around Church Hill...a very old and very cool neighborhood. If you ever wanted to live in restored (for the most part) 100+ year houses, this is your place. Has a lot of history there (as does most of Richmond) and is one of my favorite places to explore. Also, and not just Alamo some very good places to eat.
Headed out later to roar around Richmond for a bit and then headed to Manchester for a stop at Legend Brewing for (one) Legend Brown Ale. I really enjoy that place a great deal.
After that got back, and waiting for the bike to cool down. I came in a bit early, as the skies took on a dark cloudy look, but that just passed over.
Cleaned up the bike after the ride, and its ready for the adventures to come ...
