Confirmed with my coworker Friday that he's still willing to cover me even if he has to work a double that day and he said yes. so still planning on heading down to Parkersburg Friday afternoon/evening. Was going to go for a ride yesterday morning a found a nail in my rear tire, right in the center. Just goes to show how a preflight inspection saved a potential bad day from happening. Tire was still holding full air pressure too, but I always spin my wheel around looking for things that aren't right. So I spent yesterday pulling the tire off the rim and inserting a plug/patch then gave her a good bath since its only had 2 that whole season. Today I'll give her a complete go over in preparation for this trip. I haven't even looked at the routes for this trip yet, but I'm betting ive been on all these roads at least once or twice this year alone. Only thing I might add is if we get to the hotel fairly early on Saturday I might take off from the hotel and do some exploring around that area till it gets dark. Will all depend on how the day goes. this will probably be it for me this year. Most likely come home and park her for the winter once we get back. Got way too much going on the end of Oct and into Nov.
