Woo-hoo!

That day I rode up to Walker or thereabouts to meet up for NART, I
could have done a SS1000 quite easily. It amounted to about 700 miles
and the groove I was in could have gone on another 300 or more.

But it's hard to predict which day will turn into one of THOSE days,
so I don't know if I'll ever do a SS1000 . . . officially, anyways.

But a quick ride over to SUX sometime next summer sounds like a hoot.
