Fridays ride is perfect. I am not much of a fan of the town Mena but that is what it is.

Today I did about a 250 mile ride....trying to get back in condition for a long ride. Its 365 from my front door to Hot Springs. I use to ride alot but as I stated before I had let everything sit for about a year, after I closed my shop and my wife's dad died (motorcycle wreck). I feel bad because 400 to 500 miles was just a day ride its surprising what a year off does to ya. I got pretty saddle sore.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. Edgar Allan Poe
