Went for a 60 mile ride this past Saturday afternoon, which sadly I'm thinking will be the last for the season. It was a cloudy type day but one that I'd consider a nice fall day with the temperatures in the mid 60's. However, when on a bike mid 60's is chilly.
I should have known we were in for a "unique" ride when about a mile out I ran out of gas! Yup, taking a left turn and the engine just quit. Pushed it out of the intersection, switched to auxiliary and vrooom she started right up. Banged a u-turn to the gas station we had just passed and filled her up.
Stopped in Rhode Island at Cady's Tavern, an original roadhouse, for some Jamaican rubbed chicken wings, which are delicious!
We got caught in heavy rains on the ride home, which happened to begin as night fall was closing in. Two difficult riding conditions for sure. Good news is we made it home safe and sound, although wet and cold.
