It was great to get out and ride, even though we had a small group. It was pretty much limited to the usual small group of riders that come out religiously every weekend to ride, with one new addition - my friend Gina, who just got into the world of scootering. (And she jumped right into it too, with her first scooter being a bright red manual-shifty Stella, which is sadly in the shop right now but should be good to ride on Tuesday!) We went out to Cascades Park, one of my favorite places to ride to, and then made our way out to Griffy Lake. I'm still not too sure of myself when it comes to riding to Griffy, as I'm unfamiliar with the roads there and tend to go a little more slowly when I don't know where I'm going... and I'm already going pretty slow, haha, as I'm riding a 50cc scoot. I still had fun, though!
I ended up taking a lot of pictures - while the trees are still all bare, the day was beautiful. Blue sky, warm temperatures, delightful fresh air. And yesterday was a repeat of that! So, I ended up riding solo on Sunday. I went out on Old State Rte. 37, past Cascades Park, until I hit the edge of my comfort zone and decided to turn around and head back. I don't have the best sense of direction (you should see me try to give directions to someone, it's ridiculous), and so I try to stick to places I know well. Yesterday, though, I was feeling brave, so I figured I'd do a little exploring - which turned into a 12 mile round-trip ride. Add that to Saturday's ride - around 22 miles total - and you've got my scooter racking up quite a bit of distance just this weekend alone. It's been ages since I've put more than 3 or 4 miles on my scooter in a day.
You have no idea how happy I am that it's riding season again. :D
Current odometer reading: 636.6 miles
