Rollout [~2:00 a.m.- actual-1:45 a.m.] from the Artis residence in Richmond, Virginia. Now enroute to Rocky Mount, North Carolina–approximately 113 miles. Again, I’m hoping for an early afternoon arrival. It rained in Richmond until around midnight. It did not rain during the ride.
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning…
See you in Rocky Mount…
For the most part, I had an uneventful ride to this stop. I managed to hit a bump real hard–so hard that my XM Radio was dislodged from its cradle. I use a dummy cord for these type events. I held on to the back [that released itself from the radio]. The radio bounced a lot on the road on which I was traveling. Of course, this all happened in the dark. I retrieved the radio and a special rain cover I fashioned for it. I did not recover the battery. I’ll have to wait until I get home tomorrow to see if the radio still works. At least there is no apparent damage to the bike. I’m fine! Oh well…
GPS data from my Motion Based Digest. Here is a graphic of the ride summary.
Now, to hope for one more dry day [as I ride from Rocky Mount back to Fayetteville].
BTW, today I completed my 20th century in 2006. With this ride one of my 2006 goals has been accomplished. Tomorrow, I’ll post the Motion Based report the list the 21 century rides. There are 20 line entries–the first century ride of the year was a double century [from Fayetteville, NC to Richmond, VA--218 miles].
