Today's route... I did my best to take some curvy backroads and see some places and ride some roads I have never ridden. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully I will be able to take some nice pictures and eat at some out of the way mom and pop places. Staying at a little Hampton Inn with my points tonight and then on to Kentucky tomorrow to mee up with some of my buddies for a Bourbon trail ride on Sunday.
I'm going to miss Mrs. Irish, but it's going to be good to get away on the bike. We had to take my Dad's car away last Friday on my Birthday and that was pretty stressful. Plus I'm managing way to many projects for one person right now and the amount of project related emails I get a day are astounding. Close to 100 a day and they all have to have some kind of response. I'm pretty overwhelmed at work.

Had a really nice dinner last night for my Birthday and to send me off given by two of our very best friends Skip and Bettina. My buddy gave me a bottle of Monkey Shoulder. Bettina made us a Pasta Puttanesca and it was delicious.
