It felt so good to get in the saddle again. My brother was here visiting, so we made the most of the sunshine and temporary warm up in temps. I let him ride my ZRX and we headed off into the melting run-off, road spray, salt, and sand. The bikes are now filthy, but it felt so good to get out it was worth it. We made a big loop following the Shenandoah River to Harpers Ferry WV, then crossed the Potomac River into Maryland. In Maryland we followed the river upstream to Sharpsburg, then made a quick stop at Antietam Battlefield. We eventually made our way back across the river to Shepherdstown, WV and finally back home to Charles Town. We took it easy for most of the ride due to the road conditions, but there were a few long dry stretches that saw the rev limiter.
It's amazing how good even a messy ride like this can feel when you've been suffering from a severe case of Busa withdrawal. I think I'll be OK now for a few days at least before I get the shakes again. Is there a patch I can wear on my arm to control the cravings between 50 degree days in winter?
