Mark your calendar for a March 22nd ride!!!

Cross your fingers for nice weather Sunday, March 22nd cause we are finally hitting the local twisties.

We will meet at the Dairy Queen in Cahaba Heights (3134 Cahaba Heights Rd, Birmingham, AL 35243) at around 1:30PM for socializing & we will pull out for the ride at 2PM.

We'll take Cahaba Heights Road, to Sicard Hollow Road, to Rex Lake Road, Zeigler Road, Montevallo Road, Elliot Lane, to Hwy 25. We will ride Hwy 25 down then back up to Hwy 41, & then take Hugh Daniels Drive back to Hwy 280. After the ride we plan to stop by Joe's Crab Shack for some good eats.

It's been a long time since we got together for a ride so I hope to see lots of you there

Jane and I will try to be there.
We came to B'ham on Sunday and did some driving on our way back to Gadsden. Found one sweet stretch of road. The road came off of US11 in Springville - Mountain Lake Road. It was ok, but then we turned onto Sportsman Lake Rd. that run back into Hwy 174. Sportsman had some really nice twisties.

getting in the shower... so I can run some errands & head out


My MINI is dirty but I refuse to waste my time cleaning it since a layer of yellow powder will overtake it before I can even get out my drying towel
