The weather was absolutely perfect. Here's what I did...
A college buddy of mine rode down from Philly so we could go out for a ride. We had a trip all planned out two years ago but we had to cancel due to Katrina. He then had a kid last year so his wife wasn't letting him out of her sight. He rides a Vulcan 750 so I took BoboChrome out for the day.
Interestingly enough, Google's estimated time is about what it took us with a few stops to gas up and lunch. I'd estimated about 200 miles but turns out it was on the nose. It felt weird doing 211 on a cruiser and strangely I only saw 4 sportbikes on it. The weather was actually pretty chilly up on the mountain but it felt great given our current pattern.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
