I like to ride.
Come on down and ride with us some time.
We ride six days a week.
Most of the time I just go for 5 days.
Coming home yesterday in the dark , I saw the glitter of glass in the road ( have 2 headlights).
Then heard crunch crunch. Then heard Pow Pisssss.
Rear Tire Flat 1.5 miles from the house.
Walked it the rest of the way home.
Cut in the side wall, Had 3400 miles on the tire.

10 Wheels, you guys are great. It's awsome that you get so many miles in.

Most of the folks I know who have reached retirement would never dream of hopping on a bike and spending the day on it.

"We Ride with The Big Trucks:"

Kind of the big truck to move over a bit for you too! I just hope that truck up ahead is not coming at the big truck.

Looks like fun rides, and wow y'all get a lot of miles in there.
