    Back To Sunday Morning Rides

    After a period of about two months, I'm finally back to doing my usual Sunday morning rides with my Vette. I missed out on a lot of beautiful weather rides due to some medical problems (after the winter meet) and a recent month long trip back to Thailand (my wife's home).

    I did my usual pre-start inspections, then primed it and it fired right off just like always. The clutch disc stuck a little, but that's normal after even a several week shutdown. After a brief warm up, it was off to the country roads. Much to my surprise, one road in particular that I love to drive on that winds it's way around a rather large natural lake with a lot of curves and clear straight aways that allow some good WOT bursts, had been completely repaved while I was gone. Did I enjoy that! My 10 year old Goodyears hung on well to that new pavement on the curves and my tach needle got to stretch itself a few times in the yellow and orange on the straights.

    Life is great and even greater with your Vette providing the best heart therapy possible.

      Glad to see you are back in the saddle. I am driving after a miserable winter. Sometimes when you are deprived of something you love, you appreciate it all the more. Keep on driving.

        STU Glad you are doing better. I also had a heart issue. A month ago I had a stent put in my LAD artery the widow maker. I kind of ignored the symptoms of short breadth & tightness in my chest when doing anything physical more than walking. Thought I was just getting old. LOL I was VERY lucky to have not had a heart attack & to be alive. Started driving the Vets more & am enjoying life more, Some people don't get a second chance.

          Thanks for the comments guys. Good to know there are still others of us old timers with shared experiences. I missed my last cardio appointment last friday after trying for two days to get a flight to Chicago (seems they were all down here in Florida paying our taxes). I could have probably driven the Vette up there in the same amount of time, but for their awful weather. It probably would have done me more good.
