It would only have been better if the guy in the pickemup truck with Tennessee plates didn't throw his litter over the guardrail at the Roan Mountain overlook. Sorry if I slowed you down Wayne, but I had an awesome ride.

2020 is gonna be a very good year.

Belated new year resolution: work a little harder on rr pix (different perspectives)

For the past 20k miles or so of riding I've had what I needed in my tank bag to set up some unique shots, I've just been to scared to do it.

Consider yourself warned. If you join me in future rides there will be a little more time spent fiddling with gadgets for stupid camera tricks.

Edit: I could spend quite a bit of time resting at the spot that pic was taken

But I didn't really sleep well the night before in anticipation of my first full day of fun in the mountains since the surgery. Collarbone did fine...in that I did not notice it at all.

However, I did notice towards the latter half of the ride that the skin on top of my shoulder by my neck felt like it got a burr or something under my collar...which seemed pretty weird. I figured I'd check it when I got home. I did check after I had that first beer, and it was a burn about 2 inches long in a straight line....blistered up. It's scabbed up now and about healed...but I guess I need to make sure I have a collar or something on my shirt in that area under my heated liner. I only had my liner at about 30-40%, and never had any issue in the 7 years I've had it.
