a warm day in October

I had met this lady on myspace, her name was Melissa come to find out we went to school together and found that we had some friends in common. The more we chatted we realized we had more in common, the love of the open road on two wheels. So we decided that we would get together w/ a mutual friend Eric and ride. So the day came in October a warm day but a cool breeze blowing and we met at Roc's in Pikeside and off we went. We met Eric in Falling Waters at my river lot and Melissa took the lead and what a awesome ride, nice country back roads all the way into frederick and we decided to stop at the outlets for some coffee, well at least for them I dont drink coffee so I got a tea and we sat down and got to know each other a little better. I was so amazed in how much interest we had in common and how well we rode together it was like I had always road with her, but the truth of the matter is I had always road with my husband 'ALWAYS' this was the first time he was not with me on a ride, it was different but felt good at the same time. So our first ride together would come to a end around 5:30 and I would head home and what a cold ride that was by the time I pulled into the garage my man had to peel my off the bike I was cold, but I wouldn't ever forget my first adventure out with my new friend and soon I would know we would be pulled more together in the months to come.
Well in November of 2008 I joined a local chapter of women on wheels called "Therapy'N'Thrills "aka TnT(our link is http://www.tnt-wow.org) I joined our very first meeting which didn't leave us too many more riding days, which for me and others has gave us time to get to know one another and bond, and that is a good thing to learn alot about someone before you ride together.
So comes January and we decide to go to the Timonium Bike Show as a group you could not ask for a nicer day and we had a blast getting to know each other and for Melissa and I too see two men that we really admire, I'm so into Bike Builders is not funny and I never could get into Orange County Choppers but always loved watching Vinny which has his own show V-Force Choppers now were talking and I got my picture take with him and Cody and Melissa and Lillian. Well of course with the weather being nice, we would want to plan our first ride together and it would be the following day.
Well it was set , we had a place and time there was 3 of us in Berkeley County to meet us, so the day comes I go to my sister's get my bike and the big question is will it start since I parked it there back in December because it had shut off on me in the parade, so yea I know I should have known better it would not start, so now I had to tex Melissa and let her know I would not be there on our first ride, I was so bummed but off too the shop it went and now she is home and ready to go so until next time here's to many more adventures.
