Missed the long ride with Rakesh and Avi this morning due to scheduling conflicts. Made up a little in the evening. Long enough (a little over 100 miles) to make it past the 5,000 mile mark.

Finished some reading in my favorite coffee shop there. Saw Autumn after quite some time… Getting close to the 5K miles mark.

After about three years, John and I went to Helen, GA to grab a lunch again. We went to the same place as we had gone to in 2020. Here is the funny part…

That day, we had gone there riding identical bikes – Honda CTX 700s. Today too, we went in identical bikes – Honda Rebel 1100s.

What is crazy is that the one parking spot that was open for us today – was the exact spot we had that day!! (I realized that while checking the pictures from that trip).

And to cap it off, we again talked about politics and corona virus!!

It was a bit cold but the sun came out. Temperatures dropped in Atlanta to more spring like weather (and will be like this for another week). On the return trip, I stopped at my favorite Cumming coffee shop – Community Cup. It is one of the few coffee places that has bar seating upfront where you can work and chat with the barista at the same time.

Was a bit overwhelmed by all the celebrations that seemed to be going on in front of the coffee shop. Decided to park the bike a little further away and find out what was up. Turned out it was the fifth anniversary for Community Cup!

Took a long drawn out route to get there but eventually reached BHCC in Ballground! Was good to see Baylee. Love her fighting spirit!

and a good riding day!

After a long time, put in a ride with Avi.

Garrett Jamieson, you will be glad to know that I finally located the Bizarre Coffee location!!

Reached the milestone in about a year and three months. The same milestone was reached with Phoenix in half that time!!! Seems like I need to spend more time on the road…
