Got the wife back out, just not on her own anymore. After her accidents and recovery, she's decided that riding on her own in NJ just isn't worth the hassle and danger, missed time from work, medical bills, and recovery effort. So she's gonna be my backpack from now on when/if we go out. But she doesn't have the itch like I always do so doesn't make a big push to go out.
We got invited to a friend's backyard bbq for the 4th weekend. It was a nice day out and only 11 miles so we jumped on and off we went.
