Saddle Sore '04

 

Home
Up

 

I'm thinking of a Saddle Sore to Virginia this Wednesday 11/10/04 on my '99 CBR 1100 XX Super Blackbird.

That'll make 3 SS1K runs on 3 different bikes.

I'm thinking this'll be the route.

And here are some links to the weather along the way.

Start and finish.

NYC

Jersey

PA

and

Virginia

Looks like clear and 23-50 degrees the whole way.

This is what Streets and Trips spit out for directions with a little input from me.

I kinda forgot to write up my latest SS1K so here it goes.

I traded my ’01 Aprilia Falco for a ’99 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird so I decided to take it for a little spin.

11/10/04 I had the day off so I planned to take the XX to Virginia from E. Yaphank, Long Island.

I planned on leaving at 4 am to beat NYC traffic.

Well, it was 18ºF when I rolled outta the driveway.

That was a really cold day outta the blue so my body wasn’t ready for it.

IT WAS COLD!!!

I took the Long Island Expressway (the worlds biggest parking lot) to the Northern State Parkway, to the Cross Island Parkway, to the Throgs Neck Bridge, to the Cross Island Parkway, to the George Washington Bridge, to Rt. 80 to Rt. 81  down to Virginia.  

My first gas stop was at 6 am in PA and I bought a bottle of water. Took a sip and threw it in my tank bag. At 8 am I made my second gas stop and took my water out for another sip and it was FROZEN!!! Two hours from liquid to solid! I can't do that in my freezer at home!

IT WAS COLD!!!

I stopped at exit 213 in VA for a wonderful tuna sub from Subway. Geared back up and came home the same route except I was so close on the mileage I went 2 exits past my exit out to Manorville, NY got gas then came back to the station I started at.

I figure that aged about 15 miles to the trip.

Came out to 1,027 on my odometer and something pretty close to that on Microsoft Streets & Trips.

I just have to send in my paperwork so I can be approved for my 3rd SS1K on my 3rd different bike.
