Between the doublewide and Marion, NC, scouted out the roads and route, confirming road conditions and GPS turn directions on some roads I had never been on, or hadn't been on since Helene destroyed area. Road conditions good and GPS directions worked appropriately. Thanks Duane/1911 for the route from summer of 2022.

Route northwards to EOM set...and its a doozy.

Got paid to ride it today. Work needed me to go to one of two locations. One was deep in the Dallas metroplex, the other was about the same distance on a semi-busy farm road two towns over. Farm road won and despite still being a smidge warm at 93F, I took the FJR over there. For some, 93F is a no go, for us however, that's the start of second riding season. Woohoo!

In northeast Ohio, when it's 93 it's also usually around 80% humidity ...that's when I enjoy the AC of the car.. But lately the temps have been perfect. Right around 50 in the mornings and mid 70s for the ride home.

Yep, this cool weather has been awesome! Rode today with temps between 60 and 80.
