309, and the Riding was (Mostly) Fine

Well, my buddy and I went for that ride, and it was enjoyable for the most part.
There were a few too many slowpoke Sunday drivers out on a Saturday afternoon, but, neither one of us have any control over that.

We went on a loop of roads that I believe my buddy rides on at least semi-regularly, so he led the whole way and I followed.
The route was decent with some good curves and hilly terrain to enjoy.
We basically were in the area in and around the Chaplin/Mansfield/UConn area much of the time.
I can't remember the last time I went up that way (northwest of where I live), myself.
I liked it, I'm happy to say.

Yesterday (Sunday), I was out on the bike for a good long time, going out on two rides.
I tend to base my routes over areas I know fairly well, although I'm starting to expand things by taking roads I haven't been on in literally 20 years, or never before at all.
Feels nice to discover a new road that I like, although I have to remember to take the time to learn the road before I can ride it at the pace I like. :)

Off to jerk,
-John
