I respectfully submit my qualifications:

* My idea of a perfect day of riding is stopping for every possible photo opp on back roads with a posted speed of 45 MPH or less. (I shun Interstates)
* I have a gel pad installed in my seat (I assume most of the CARA members do not ride with stock seats).

As a result of breaking my wrist, seems I have a bunch of stretched, pulled, knotted, bend and just generally screwed-up tendons.
Teadious little boogers.

Just kidding. I'm glad you're here. With all the rain down your way, I'm surprized you got any miles in at all. Hey, Dan... A good friend of mine has just moved to Houston. Once I get some new contact info, I'm going to try and get to give you a shout. He's a character and will fit right in. He's just retired and loves to ride.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Putz0999) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/53689 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 11:02:25 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: CARA ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/53685/t/CARA.html#reply-53685 I had a nice 700 mile trike trip, on the Dragon Trike, to the Texas Hill Country in January.
I rode Elvira for about 900 miles in the Ozarks in April at the ESRRR.
Had a very nice trip, on the Red Dragon, down from PA along Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Cherohala Skyway. That was about 1600 miles or so.
But, that was it.
I haven't ridden at all since June. That officially puts me back in CARA!!
Oh well.

Now someone else will have to bear the torch.
Myself, Uncle Clay, After 5, Through The Fog, and Mrs. TTF are now officially disqualified. Our day, long 285 mile mountain tour removes us from the list of leading CARA members.
Was a nice ride though!!
