It got up to 68 here and it was great. I took off about 2pm for a little ride and just got back. About 80% of the roads I was on today I had never been on. This may be the last good day of riding around here for a while.

This was taken with the Drift HD170 using the remote to take pics. Click on the picture to see the rest of the pics :doorag:

Nice! :thumbup:

We were out today, too. I see you were out on 93. We've been on that several times. We rode around Kingsport today and yesterday. The weather was very nice this weekend.

Nice pics !! 68 degrees is a heat wave Lamont. Must be nice. :bowdown:

We also went for a ride today. When we left the house it was 45 degrees and it only warmed up to 51 and windy. We rode to our state capital today we saw alot of people camping out in the park ........... I don't know how these people can camp out in a tent when the temp drops below freezing at night. :dontknow:



Please do not comment on why these people are camping, but I have never seen camping in the heart of a city before !!! :roflblack:

It's the other way around here. Went from daily highs of low 70s to highs of about 45. Otherwise pretty nice out, but darned cold for riding, even with cold weather gear.

with the distortion in a few of the pics. Is it due to the setting you were using?

Just curious--where do you keep your remote? I have been keeping mine on my right wrist, but I find that to be somewhat cumbersome.

I headed toward Rogersville but wound up in Jonesborough. I took some roads I had never been on and ran into an old buddy in Greeneville when I stopped for a bite. It was a great solo ride but would be glad to ride with you guys again. ;)


with the distortion in a few of the pics. Is it due to the setting you were using?That's a 170 degree lens and the closer you get to a hard edge the more it shows up as a fisheye. I kinda like it. :doorag:

Hey, you were near me, Turn right at the church and that is Leesburg road. I live in Leesburg estates only a couple of miles from there. There are a lot of great roads in the area.
I was traveling yesterday from a company meeting and didn't get to ride. looked like a great day though.
