Wife says we are grown up riders now

[rhansen309]

We just came home from Flint, MI. We went there using the GPS set on "avoid highways". Only 112 miles but almost three hours. After standing in a flag line with the MI PGR we went for ice cream and then left Flint. Or friends got us on I-69 and we took that all the way to I-94. Not sure how many miles but about two hours of riding. So now my wife says we are grown up riders!!! Riding the highways was great.


:yes:

:yes:

Those highways can be a bit 'hairy' at times, and I really do like the back roads better. But, where we live, to get anywhere, have to take one of the highways. I'm getting more confident now, and stay aware all of the time. So glad you're all grown up lol!! :clap:

Back Roads

The problem with the back roads around here (WV and Southwestern PA) is deer!! At least on the Interstate sometimes you have a little more time to react.

I ride on highway all week to get to work. I actually prefer the back roads. It is a more relaxing ride for me.

:congrats:. I69 is a pretty good choice for your first Interstate ride. I'm not a big fan of I94 even in your neck of the woods. It is a little narrow and has so many semis so you really did earn your big boy points on that one.

Back roads? What are those? We don't tell that've any of those here.

We have to watch the deer, too, especially during rutting!! Other animals can be a problem as well, but there have also been some pavement pelt deer along the sides of our highway. That's why we all just need to be super-conscious of everything around us!

I like back roads too. The big trucks on the highway freak me out at times. :yikes:
