I left West Virginia this morning, headed for Middletown, NY. The weather was perfect. I hopped off I-81 south of Harrisburg and rode on US Rt 11 for about 65 miles, then headed back to I-81. Near Scranton, I took I-84 to Middletown. The weather was perfect and I think the heat problems with my Spyder are over . . . it ran great!

I came for a picnic at http://www.ourladyofmtcarmelshrine.com/ . . . it used to be a Carmelite Seminary and I was a student there, for a couple years. They have an annual picnic for alumni.

Things have really changed since the last time I was in Middletown! St. Albert's used to be out in the country . . . surrounded by homes, now!

I left Middletown, NY around 9AM. I had been warned that there was a lot of construction on I-84, heading back toward Scranton, so I took Rt 6. About 30 miles from Scranton, I ran into a group on 2 wheels while getting gas, and they told me I was past most of the construction. I got back on I-84, took it to I-81 south, and cruised to just north of Hagerstown, where I got off I-81, again, and took the back roads, home. Got home just after 4PM, 316 miles . . . The only heat related issue is when my right foot is on the highway pegs and the radiator fan comes on . . . other than that, my Spyder runs great. I think that all the tweaks they have done have resolved the heat issues with my 2013! It was another beautiful day to ride!
