Yes.. finally. I left our driveway and did a 22 mile ride making a loop out of back roads with a little highway mixed in, a route I had never done before. I took several pictures along the way, and a highlight of the ride was when a gentleman trimming weeds in a ditch along the road paused and stepped back to allow me debris-free passage - I gave him a nod and an enthusiastic "appreciate it!" Also, no dogs. That was nice too. Decided to cut through the nearby state park on the way home... paused to watch three military CH-53 super stallion helicopters fly overhead. Time was right at 1.5 hours... very enjoyable ride.
