"Summertime" in the RVA (May 19, 2017)

Nice day for a hot ride. Got going early and headed out toward the airport. That trip had a purpose...was looking for a parking lot near the airport which I found. Had to stop in to see these last parts of the old aviation museum that was here - the A7 to the left and the F-14 to the right. From there headed to Stone Brewing to have a cold beverage. Cold being the operative term, as the temperature was pushing 90 and with high humidity. Its too early in the year for that.    
From there rode to Riverside Drive after a stop for some ice cream at Baskin-Robbins. Traffic during the ride was not too bad, and was good being out though a little tough at red lights at time. Had on full safety gear and that was a bit toasty. Did make a drive down Riverside Drive to check on the river which is down from my last ride. One of my favorite rides in Richmond. No idea this trip how far I traveled, if I had to make a guess it would be in the 50 mile range. About an hour after I got back rains fell in the area. Good timing on my part and a very good ride on a very fine day in the RVA
