Did get a good ride in on a beautiful Saturday....was not far (around 50 miles) but did get to roll down VA 5 a bit, and got this photo of Richmond at Rockett's Landing which is a beautiful place to get some good photos of the city. Was a nice time riding, and had good lunch (not too far from the apartment at a restaurant called "Galley" which was really good. Enjoyed having a (for the very first time ever) a "Breakfast Salad" which was really nice.
Was nice to get out, wanted to get the ride in and rest some...went to a fireworks display (which was great) later that night. Had a really fine ride though!!!!
On Sunday, in what is becoming a pattern rode to Moe's on Three Chopt Road to have lunch...getting quite fond of that ride and its a nice area. Night before a friend of mine had some dog issues (had to take the dog to the emergency vet, but could not lift it) so I came over and helped (Zeus is a neat dog) . We were at the emergency vet (in Carytown) till 3am; so did not get much sleep. Kind of cut this ride a bit short, but still enjoyed it...as it was a fantastic day. Last three or four days have been remarkable in that temperatures and humidity have been low, and that makes for some of the best riding there is. Here I am on Grace Street, love those pillars (or whatever you call them) and my bike is in the foreground.
Was a good ride, later rode to Cary Street Cafe for a glass of "refreshment" and a bit of the Sunday paper. Nice place to hang out for a bit. Went around 30 miles...so did both days something like 80 miles, some nice riding on a great weekend. Got one more good day tomorrow..the last day of my vacation.
