Before I took the Motorcycle Safety Coure I went on my first group ride on June 13th. Although I was driving on my permit I was with licensed riders. I went with the NJ Road Riders Club; a great bunch of folks. My wife, Barbara went along, riding on the back of our bike.
It started with a rather thorough briefing, emphasizing safety. The ride started at a diner in Bristol PA and went through Bucks County to Tanners Farm Market near Richboro PA. The Ice Cream cones were cheap and LARGE.
We stopped at a covered bridge then made our way back to the Burlington Bristol Bridge.
There were thunderstorms in the area which we were hoping to avoid by heading straight home and navigating around, relying on Justin's GPS, weather map.
It didn't work. A few miles from home we were on Rt. 70 and ended up in a downpour. This ended up being the first time I rode in the rain.
We got soaked. There was standing water in my boots!
I guess we need to invest in good rainsuits.
