Sat, Aug-27 was washed out by Hurricane Irene. Sat, Aug-13 was an "Irregulars" ride. Aug-06 was washed out by rain from a normal cold front. Jul-30 was an "Irregulars" ride. Jul-23 was an "Irregulars" ride. <br /><br />Never challenge the memory of a man with an Excel log of his rides. <br /><br />;-)skiffrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627376178648891371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342856829001765305.post-69382244778081153292011-09-12T17:04:13.974-04:002011-09-12T17:04:13.974-04:00In case "sag" or "JayJay" read...In case "sag" or "JayJay" read the above comment: <br /><br />"My recollection" of the date ... comes from searching my Excel log of previous rides ... not from my "incredible" memory. I do, however, recall certain moments of that ride ... ask sometime if we're on a ride together and you are bored, er, need to be bored nearly to tears.skiffrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627376178648891371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342856829001765305.post-76486185723067314002011-09-12T16:58:51.072-04:002011-09-12T16:58:51.072-04:00The "Prison Break" route was created in ...The "Prison Break" route was created in 2007. At the time it was a major departure from the usual roads I was riding ... and qualified as a pretty LONG / epic ride for me. <br /><br />I know I didn't do the ride in 2007, because I couldn't get anyone to do it with me ... and I was intimidated about the idea of riding on Old-75 by myself. <br /><br />My recollection is that the first time the Prison Break was ridden "Irregularly" was Jul-19-2008. BobH, Norris, LT, BigWaveDave and "the Duke" did the Prison Break, as a short-option instead of doing the "Mt. Tirzah Tour". I couldn't get any of them interested in the Tirzah Tour ... so when they went straight, I turned toward Bahama and then on to Mt. Tirzah ... solo. The others missed a great ride ... gas had just hit $4 a gallon for the first time ... the 10 or 11 miles from Tirzah to Culbreth ... my recollection is that there was one (1) car ... and no kamikaze squirrels. <br /><br />I think that was LT's first "Irregular" ride.<br /><br />Oh, I think I still did not do the Prison Break for another year. <br />----------------------------------------- <br />IvaHawk didn't mention, but for all those that may be curious ... we waved at Bernie Madoff as we rode by the federal prison. We didn't notice Bernie waving back. <br /><br />;-)skiffrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627376178648891371noreply@blogger.com
