24 Days and a wake up. . .

It's that time of year, again! Robins are showing up in our yard (one actually tried to do a kamikaze imitation through my dining room bay window), buds on the trees and, most importantly, the sound of motorcycles is everywhere! We're 25 days from our 13th annual Spring ride and the roughly 6-8 of us who are riding this year are chattering back and forth with ideas on where to go and what to see. We're somewhat limited by time vs. distance and the desire to get off the "slab" and spend some quality time on back roads or country roads. We've traveled anywhere from 1700 miles up to 3350 miles during our week long adventure and we've been able to fine tune what we're looking for. If we do 100 miles or up to 300 miles in a day, depending on the sightseeing that goes into the day, we're good with that. I think the days of us riding 700 plus miles as a group of 6-8 riders (or some years up to 12-14 riders) is over. It's OK when there's two of us, but that's the limit for big mile days. So, here we are, 24 days and a wake up away from our ride out of Syracuse on May 25. At this point, we have only one destination that we are seriously looking forward to and that is the National Museum of the Marine Corps at Quantico, VA.
