Perfect Day For A Ride

What more could you ask for - sunny skies and low 80s - those combined with great friends make for a perfect day for a ride.

We left the Cruisin' 66 parking lot at 1:30, we just never seem to leave on time, but then again, we are never in a hurry. We headed up H highway and made our way to Pomme de Terre Lake. I didn't think I had ever been up there, but Tim reminded me that we were there in 2002 or 2003 with a boat that almost sunk! Ahhh, memories.

Anyway, today was much more memorable. Even though it was only 60 miles, with the stops and twisty roads, we rode for about 1 1/2 hours and ended up at Mr. Ed's in Nemo, on the east side of Pomme de Terre Lake. We had 99 cent burgers and $1 HUGE ice cream cones while we relaxed in the shade on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Wes did a great job of leading the group of 20 bikes along a great route. Carol took a lot of pictures, and I can't wait to see them this week. Check our website.

After leaving Mr. Ed's, Tim and I, along with Bob, headed to Bumsteads in Nixa. Joan and Ron were celebrating there 15th wedding anniversary and we wanted to stop by and say hello. It was a great ending to a great riding day.

Oh yeah, did I mention after leaving Mr. Ed's we got pulled over by State Patrol for speeding just north of Buffalo? Luckily we got off with just a warning! Geez!!!!
