Meet a new guy named Matt, We went riding through Great Falls VA. We left Alexandria and rode down the GW Parkway jumped on 495 to head over to Georgetown Pike. After that I couldn't tell you what road I turned off onto.
This was one of those rides that was that road looks nice lets take it. We were on some awesome roads nice and twisty up and down.
We stopped at one point to look at a map. The map made it look like the roads when through. Well at one point a few of the roads did cut through over to route 7. But now they had some guardrails put up blocking the road so you couldn't cut through.
Matt had headphones that he plugged into his GPS and that gave him directions to get us over to route 7. (I am good at getting us lost. I'll put up another blog post on one ride that happened a few years ago when riding with family. They still don't let me live that down to this day.)
Matt had to go to the bathroom so we ended stopping in a shopping center. He went in to a Giant to use the bathroom. I stayed in the parking lot. This guy in a beat up WRX pulls up next to our bikes, gets out and starts asking some questions. He leaves and goes into Giant.
Matt came back out. As we are standing there looking at a map trying to figure out where to ride. This woman walks up with a 6 year old and a baby. Asking if her son could come over and look at the motorcycles. We were yes come on over. Matt told the boy he could sit on his bike. The boy climb up on it. Matt reached over and started the bike this scared the boy and he wanted off.
Here is where to me things got a little odd. The guy in the WRX come back out of Giant with 2 bags of ice and some beer. He sat them on top of the trunk and walked to the passenger side of the car and leaned on the door and started talking to us over the top of the car. This other guy pulls up in a truck. Jumps out come over grabs the ice and beer and throws it into the back of his truck and gets back into the driver seat. I guess the guy in the WRX knew the guy in the truck if not the guy in the truck just got 2 bags of ice and some beer for free. The guy in the truck didn't say hi or say anything just grab the stuff.
On the way back home we decided to ride through the town of Clifton VA. Riding through there at night is a really different feel. No street lights and really dark.
I don't have a MyTracks to share. I ether didn't hit start or I hit stat and stop so it didn't record the route.
