Durham NC Ride

Saturday Slick and I decided to head to Durham NC for a bite to eat. That idea wasn't such a good one. The idea for the ride was to Durham and then get back on I-40 and and hit 86 north to Yancyville NC. Well the Durham part wasn't too great due to all the heavy traffic. The place we were going to eat at was pretty close to the mall in Durham and traffic heading south off of I-40 was pretty heavy. There was a lot of stop and go traffic. Oh yeah, the winter jackets we have worked great too but the they do get pretty hot when you are stuck in traffic and not moving and the temp is around 65.

Anyway, after we headed north the traffic was a lot lighter. We had a great meal (of course, we ate too much) and then we mounted up and started our route back to the house. By this time it was around 3 pm. We hit highway 86 to Yanceyville. Once we got through Yanceyville we headed west on highway 158. The highway 86 and 158 was really nice. It was pretty much all country roads. We could really tell we were in the country by the great smell of county manure. After we got off 158 we hit highway 29 and headed south toward home.

We left home around 11:30 am and got back home around 5:00 pm. The trip was pretty nice except for the traffic in Durham. I recommend you not ride a bike at Christmas time near a mall. That was a dumb idea on my part. The weather was great. We had a great time and look forward to our next trip. Except then next time we will skip the city driving and head toward the country.

Until next time and enjoy the ride!
