Narnia
Narnia
I watched Narnia last night. I liked it, but it seemed like some little “it” was missing from it. Even so, I thought it was a really good movie. One of the previews on the DVD is for the new Pirates of The Caribbean which is being released in July. I looked up Narnia on IMDB and saw where a second one is scheduled for 2007.
Well… just got paged by Charleston and I’m now headed for Tyler county.
Riding Today
Riding Today
So, I took the Volusia out and went to Extreme to return the gloves I bought the other day. I tried them on and tried to work the controls on the bike and didn’t like how they fit. They didn’t have any others that fit or I liked, so I just did a return on them and I’ll keep looking. After leaving there, I went across the river into Wheeling and rode out Route 88 past Oglebey Park. I went through West Liberty and Bethany and went to Castleman’s run. There were people fishing from the water’s edge and a couple of boats. I then came back into Wellsburg on 67 and north on Route 2 to home. I put about 80+ miles on the bike today. It was a nice ride.
I think I don’t make the turns with enough skill. On the winding road today, I averaged (when I could look) 10 miles over the marked speeds for the turns, but I don’t feel like I’m doing well enough… enough confidence, etcetera. Even though I’ve been riding regularly for about 3 or 4 years now, I’m thinking about taking the Basic Rider Safety Course. I don’t know if it would be a waste of the money. I’ve heard lots of people say they road for many years and took the course and learned lots from it to the point that they increased their riding abilities.
