We get the girls from their garage and find that Wooly has a dead battery. He had left his I pod plug in and his I pod was not charging right. That thing had sucked his battery dead. Anyway half an hour later and we are finally on the road.
We take off and head back west through Massachusetts winding into New Hampshire and finally turning around shortly after entering Vermont . Our first stop was at this place called Chapel in the Pines. It was really neat spot on top of this hill with beautiful rock work. I like rocks, some thing I don't think even I knew till some one pointed out that everywhere I go I take pictures of rocks... Anyway the really cool rock work was over shadowed by this great medallion's that was all over the rock work. Son of the Pilgrims, Mothers of the World war. But this one was my favorite...
Anyway after leaving there, Wooly and I some how got behind a organised ride of nine bikes. You know the kind where they all play follow the leader, ride staggered, follow the speed limits etc. We could tell we was making them nervous as we was riding abreast through the straights and the curves. We followed them for about 20 to 25 miles when our road went one way and they went another. I think it might have been on purpose on their behalf .
By this time I was starved I had some yogurt for breakfast but no food since and it was 2 pm... So we stopped in the next little town to try to find food. No luck, the only thing open was a little pizza place. I have tried the pizza up here twice, and that was enough for me. So another hour and we find a Friendlys. At this point I did not care if it was a greasy spoon, I needed some food. I was past the point where the starving tummy was taking over and making the rest of me a total bitch to ride with. Also a note, this is probably one of the reason the OM loves me on my own bike he can not hear my stomach or my mouth, lol... Anyway I had a salad and off we go again to return back home... well to the place I have called home for the last 6 weeks.The ride back was not as great as I think it could have been. Might have some thing to do with we got on a super slab instead of the alternate road that was suggested..
On the way back and almost to home I was running low on fuel. I really need to fill completely but as Wooly usually runs out before me I quit totally filling up. Anyway we stopped for gas and a cold drink and right across from the gas station was a very old cemetery. I was to intrigued and had to go look. The oldest stone was 1702 that I found but there was two that really peaked my interest...
Cool head stone. I thought wow he must have been a pirate or something but no he was a doctor or something. Anyway the much needed ride was full of some great little surprises some twist and turns that makes two wheels fun and then home for a great glass of wine... Wish everyday could be this great.
