Post South Carolina Low Country Ride

Hey Ninjetters,

I just wanted to share the longest ride of my riding existence. For some this may be a piece of cake to others it may seem pretty long.

I am part of the latter thinking.

So we started out in a town called Summerville and headed toward Macedonia. From Macedonia we went to Huger then over to West Ashley and finally back to Summerville.

We made stops at various churches along the way. It was a benefit ride for Crisis Ministries.

I was the only sport bike amongst Harleys, Hondas, and other crusiers.

All in all it was nice. It was about 100 miles and we spent close to 4 hours w/ stops. I didn't realize how many times I would be squeezing the clutch. My wrist was shot after that ride.

I am up for another, just not any time soon. Hopefully the next time I can ride with a bunch of sport bikes // other Ninja's!

Thanks for reading. If you are in the Low Country (Charleston) area of South Carolina hit me up. Maybe we can ride together.

Late.

There are some wrist exercises you can do to gain maximum strength.

A set of adjustable levers can help a lot.
