On Saturday, Henry, Rita, and I took off for Portsmouth which is on the border of Ohio and KY, sitting on the Ohio River. The sun was shining, and temps were in the 80's - hot for April. It was a great ride, and the companionship was great.
The intended destination was the floodwall along the river. The wall has a series of murals painted directly on the concrete. Vibrant and 3D, the images were amazing. The scenes all depicted things local to Portsmouth.
The overall ride was 270 miles, a great medium distant ride. I finally got the saddle adjusted and had no pain throughout the entire ride! The heat was pretty tough as I foolishly wore my leather coat. And of course, the full face helmet, cloves, boots. But we drank a lot of water to stay
hydrated. When we hit home, we had to stop for a couple of cold ones to celebrate a great ride!Here are a few shots just to give you an idea on what the wall looks like. It is definitely worth a day trip for anyone nearby.
