We had a nice ride today with the weather sunny and in the high 80's most of the time.
We left home about 11:00 AM heading toward Portsmouth. We passed through Lebanon to SR 350 (which is always a good ride if you like curves). :)
We followed 350 until it intersected SR 73. 73 is a really good ride the further east you get. The curve and hills can be exciting along the way. We arrived in Portsmouth hoping to preview Hickies Hamburgers for the June 8th ride. However they are closed on Sunday. :(

We settled for a pizza buffet at Gatti's where I think I must have drank about a gallon of diet Coke.

Crossed the bridge into KY and followed the river down to Maysville then on to Agusta where we picked up the ferry boat to Ohio. Back routes from there to home including 52, 222, 133, 48 and several more just taking our time cruising back home.
Our last stop was at the UDF near our house to get Vicki a chocolate malt.
Another great ride!

Grounded again! :( I took a fall yesterday from a ladder that twisted sideways and threw me off. Granted I was only two feet off of the ground when it happened but I landed on my bad knee and now it's worse. Back to the Doc next Wednesday to see if he wants to do an MRI. I have a feeling that he will since I have no stability in the knee now.
I was looking forward to the Hillbilly Hotdogs RTE in Lesage, WV with the www.rideohio.org group and now my trip is cancelled and I will only watch through the website photos and comments.
