Drove my wife into town since she hurt her shoulder. Stopped at the gas station about 2 blocks from the office and took my bike out of the back of the Montero. Decided to ride the pavement (which I almost never get to do) across the river and toward Upala. Great road - pretty flat, no holes and about half the vehicles are bikes. This was at 7:00 in the morning. I would see a vehicle every few minutes. A little warm, but not bad at all.
Just road down to a good turn around and road back. People on Motocycles could barely pass me - and would give me the thumbs up as they did.
Looking forward to the ride home.
