Well, given my work schedule, wife, and lack of friends who call when heading up/out on group rides I decided to simply start rolling solo. Today I got up after sleeping a late and decided to take a ride down Rt 60. Wanting to get to the good stuff directly I just went straight down 58 to 89, then across 95. But to my surprise 95 was closed. So I just took it over to 60 no biggie. So I fueled up at the little gas station on the corner when 60 turns right south of Nashville. Little did I know but it looks like 754 N. might have some new pavement. So I filled up and start to pull out and 3 guys coming south on 754 stopped and headed south on 60. So I think cool I might be able to keep up and have someone to follow. Guys were riding an R6, Buell, and older CBR (F4 I'm thinking). So they were rolling out but I always kept them in sight since I'm just doing my thing anyway. Followed them at a modest pace until just before 36 where they pulled off in a school parking lot. I already had plans to go all the way to Zanesville so I just rolled on by. I finished up my run and stopped for some grub and to check for calls. I was going to head toward Cbus so I gave Shitty a text. He was at work and said it was raining there. I was a bit concerned earlier as I saw it was getting pretty overcast out and I never bothered to check the weather before I left the house. Well, just about the time I finished up talking to him and walked outside it started raining....fack! So I had to make the call, either head into the rain and try to get through it by heading west on 70 then north on 71 via the slab or take the chance and get wet on a twisty road and have it take longer to get home for having to ride slower due to conditions. I rolled the dice and headed west. It didn't take long on 70 before I was soaked on about 60% of me. Rode in the rain on the slab to 270, then north to 71. It rained just about the entire time up until I got close to Ashland where I had to stop for fuel. I figured I could gas up and then take the return route to which I used to come down. Sunshine and warm air....boy did I like to see those two things after well over an hours worth of rain. So I made it home, had a good ride down and a horrible ride home (safely). I guess it was a good day. Would be interested to know if any of the three guys were on the forum here. I though for a second that guy on the Buell was IP and Bam's buddy but he was way too small! LOL! Oh well...time to go hit the Xbox for a couple hours before bed.
