Last Tuesday I took my Wrangler to my mechanic to have the rear axel seals replaced. I went for a ride that day. I had noticed that the radiator overflow tank seemed to be leaking. I pulled the front side panel off and yes the overflow tank was cracked. So, I haven’t had a running vehicle since last Tuesday! Still have the wife’s Focus, but I have to take her to work if I want it. Tired of not having any wheels. The new overflow tank should be here tomorrow and the wrangler should be done.
Took a 360 mile ride today. Almost hit a still spotted deer fawn on 83 down in AEP rec-land. I ran into the storms in Somerset, there were tornado sirens going off there.
Leaving on the 19th. Planning on Camping at the Gap for the 20th, 21st, and 22nd. Coming back on the 23 or 24. I have some roads in mind that want to ride. I like the Idea of being able to stop anywhere and to have everything that I need, with me.
Change in plans. Weather looks better next week and I ordered a new tent that should be here the 14th. Planning on leaving the 17th or 18th. Want to be at the gap on the 22nd for the Fiddie races.
I needed to sort some crap out that had been bothering me. No better way to do that than a ride. Ended up with 290 miles for the day. I took 83 south out of Coshocton to 78 into McConnelsville. Picked up 669 north, one of my favorites, to 668 north to 16. Problems resolved!
It would be great to have a wingman! I don’t really have a definite route. Probably camp Monday night between here and the gap. Are you good with camping?
Planning on heading down to the Dragon area, Monday the 10th. Going to stick to 2 lanes and camping as much as possible. Probably camp at the gap store for a couple of nights.
I ran into a younger guy from the Dayton area at the marathon/ Wendy’s in Zanesville on my way home. He was riding a new BMW F900. Nice bike for a beemer.
