We (the royal We) have taken the town of Chattanooga over. We got here about 5 p.m. Thursday afternoon (too late for the ride to Deal’s Gap) but early enough to socialize and meet a few people. We missed the ride today too because SOMEONE (not me) wanted to go antiquing in the morning. Probably a good thing though, because it rained all damn day. We tried to catch up, riding the twists up to Lookout Mountain (where C was once the youngest person ever to hangglide). It started pouring rain. There was fog everywhere. Even after it stopped pouring rain our clothes were so soaked it felt impossible to get warm. Eighty degrees is one thing. It’s a whole lot cooler 2,000 feet above sea level and at 45 mph.
When we got back to town we heard rumors of wrecks. More than 10. The second ride was canceled. But the rain cleared, so we rode up to to Signal Mountain, just C and I. Maybe tomorrow we’ll try Lookout again.
While hanging out at the Chattanooga Choo Choo I was interviewed by a local newscaster. I’d seen her interviewing other scooterists across the street. “I wanted to talk to a girl,” she said. Hopefully I won’t look like a dork. I’ll post the video as soon as it’s online.
AmeriVespa was on the cover of the Chattanooga newspaper this morning. Oh Bumblebee Dude, ride on my friend. Ride on like the Transformer you wish you were.
