I grew up in the city, spent several years of my adult life there and have visited repeatedly since moving to Brazil. My focus will be on seeing friends and family and taking care of some matters that need to be dealt with. But I should have time to ride especially when my sister is otherwise engaged. Plus I'll get to see places I've never gone before or haven't been in years or even decades.
