Our last night of the ride was Alexander City, AL. We snaked through traffic out of Birmingham getting separated from our brother Jerry for a few miles. Now remember, Jerry rides mostly by himself so riding in a group was a bit of a change for him. We gathered back up and watched the storm clouds building as we rolled into Alexander City. Alexander City is a small lake town in Southern Alabama and we enjoyed a great dinner at Big B BBQ. The wait staff was fun and allowed us to linger until the rain stopped. Actually it was a quick moving gully washer and lightning packed storm that we were watching as we came into town.
In the morning, we packed up our for our final ride day which is always the saddest day of our trip. We realized our greatly anticipated summer ride was drawing to a close. The weather was warm, mild and without rain as we departed.
It has been a great ride and can't wait till next year. Also making plans to attend the March SC-MA banquet, although it will be without bikes.
For those following this blog, be sure to keep an eye out for details of next years ride!
One of the things on our "bucket list" is a perimeter ride of the USA...on motorcycles. After all, we have been riding two wheels longer than we care to admit! Since we have never been the type to "follow the crowd", we decided that we would attempt this ride on scooters. *****************UPDATE************** We have lost our minds...AGAIN! We are doing the Perimeter Ride again, this time on cruisers. Stay tuned for more adventures of Ken and Sharlene!!!!
