Dean, I'm glad you made it home safe. No problem about the next ride date. YES it was HOT , so hot in fact, that when I got home I was exhausted. Could be the riding position on my bike as well thoght.
I got my frame powder coated at Top Coat in Raleigh about 15 min from my job. I paid $225 and that included the lower tripple tree and swing arm. other places wanted $350 just for the frame.
My friend Jake (who rode with us) also powder coats, but smaller stuff, he doesn't have an oven big enough for wheels. He use a regular kitchen oven so there's no way for him to do wheels. But that place where I got my frame done also does wheels etc.
I think the next ride should be towards Durham country by Jordan lake and that area, Joe knows that area as well and it will be closer to the both of you's.
Talk to you later man, stay safe.
This is the only photo I have from the ride, and too bad it was a phone photo:
