A very simple flight plan; out 252 to Winding Rd to cross the West Chester Pike onto Bishop Hollow and follow that out to Ridley Creek and Rose Tree to hit 352 for the loop back to 926, Garret Mill, and Goshen for the loop back.
The road has been completely fixed and there was very little storm debris left on the surface. Knowing the condition of the road I pushed the Bullet a little more than usual and everything worked out perfectly. The twists and turns are a lot of fun on this road and with good road conditions so much the better. Once on 352, with traffic very light, I was able to open her up and let her roar. At one point I got as far as 65 mph before shifting up to fifth gear. Removing the kickstand safety switch has been a tremendous improvement on performance. No more hiccups and no more stalling at random intervals.
The weather was really excellent, cloudy and cool but very comfortable and easy for the ride.
Shortly after getting on Bishop Hollow there was a gun metal gray Ferrari headed in the opposite direction. I also saw several riders and a couple of packs enjoying the end of what has been a beautiful day for riding. It is unfortunate that I had to work today and did not get a chance to enjoy more of it. I did commute to and from work, including lunch, so at least all was not lost.
The ride this evening lasted a little under an hour and we covered a little over 26 miles on this loop.
The exotic tally now stands at 18 Ferraris, 17 Teslas, 11 Maseratis, 5 Bentleys, 5 McLarens, 3 Cobras, 2 Austin-Healeys, 2 Lambos, 2 Unknowns, 1 Rolls Royce, and 1 DeLorean.
