To the Dentist...and beyond (July 29, 2014)

Had a dentist appointment....on top of that it was 81 degree day with low humidity. So....got my dental visit in (always better on a motorcycle, as are most everything) and then rode for a while. Photo here was the turn in ...A Harley Sportster is also waiting for the light to change on Midlothian Turnpike.
From there, rode back toward NC150 and then down I-95 to VA10. Rode that to Chester and then to Chesterfield....some interesting sights to see there, and visited a few. Went to a neat place..one of two I know of...which is a shopping area and apartments; a big one in NC was Birkdale Village.    
Here I am at the Chesterfield County Airport, which did not have much going on Tuesday morning. Still I like planes and saw a few (none really interesting though) and not a lot of flying going on either.
Rode out from there to Carytown and had lunch at Mellow Mushroom. They have a real good lunch special, have been there a few times this year (sadly, its only Monday thru Friday, so have not been there as often as I would like) but nice to do that.
Following that, headed downtown for a while, and did a bit of riding in Richmond. Always enjoy doing that, its a real fun place to explore.  
While in Richmond, did a bit of the Floodwall Walk which is in the Manchester section of Richmond.
Ride took me around some 80 miles...a good time out and enjoyed the day a great deal. For the first time since Spring, wore a jacket, as it was closer to 70 in the morning when I first started riding.
Glad I got out, as the weekend forecast for the first week of August calls for rain, and starting as I write this on Friday...that sure looks to be the case.
At any case though, this was a very fun ride and enjoyed it a great deal.
