Satisfaction after anxiety

[Realirony]

So after torturing myself on my breaks yesterday at work reading Sunny's ride report and looking at other pictures on the site, I decided that I wasn't gonna put up with such torture

On my lunch break I went home and got kuno, and brought her with me to work. She was gonna go with me somewhere after work or I would go nuts...So I checked on her every time I had a sec to look out my window, she was being a good girl, chillin with the cars outside and the no other bikes. lookin beautiful in the sunlight.

So I, after looking at sunny's pics, got this crazy idea that I was gonna find a lake too, even if I had to ride for an hour. So I used google (the god of the internet) and sure enough, there was one not too far from where I work. YAY!

It got to be close to clock-out time and I got really antsy. Which wasn't such a good thing once my supervisor found me...Hard at work.jpg

So I finally got outta work and went to my baby, and started her up. Got on the road and attempted to find Lake Wheeler (odd name huh). What I didnt plan on was everyone else getting out of work too >_o dumb me. I waited in light after light after light, and finally got out of the city and out of the traffic. I didn't find any horses, but I found cows, and alot of em (i was near the Vet school of NCSU). I woulda stopped to snap a pic, but all the side roads were gravel and weird and I didnt want to wreck

I turned down Lake Wheeler road (duh) and went for what felt like miles and never saw the lake...til I rode past it by accident (and almost hit some ducks/geese)

I turned around and went down the side road towards the lake. It was very very curvy and dipped down and arched up as it made it way through a thin slip of road carved through a forest. I came out into an opening and saw the lake ahead, and the docks too (woot). I tried to ride up to the docks, but the dock master kid told me it was for vehicles with "boat trailers" only. blarg.

I cheated and went into a side lot XD

After chillin out there for awhile to cool off (all my gear+85 degree weather is no good >.<) I got back to kuno and made my way back out, But not before I rode the twisty ups and downs of the slip about 15 times

Long story short, I found what I was looking for. There was a sauna in my gear, I almost hit some geese. And Kuno got to get out and enjoy some country roads for once. Heres some additional pics just for laughs and giggles.
