Y'all are all too funny. You know how good the Rivs ride so I'll take any opportunity to ride. If anyone asks me if I want to ride, the answer is always yes. Example: somebody invited me to table at an event but said it was in the next town over and not to ride there b/c it's too dangerous, hard, or too far or something like that. Well, the only reason I wanted to do it was for the ride there. So it was 26 miles out. It was going to be 52 miles round trip which is more than I usually ride in a day. But I went and am glad I did. The event was only so so but the ride was great. As all rides on a Riv are. If you come to Charlotte, I will ride with you.
