anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

This is just a local road about 20 mins away from my house Trevor, Near Predator Ridge in Vernon. Ha, ha, being a new to me bike I stayed on main roads where I could explain to my wife where I was if need be. It's on now though! Tires are scrubbed, everythings tight, chain rivets are solid...

Got 7-20 minute sessions @ Ridge yesterday.
No chicane day, so getting into 6th gear on the front straight is exciting before turn 1 brake markers.

Seven, Twenty minute sessions... How many miles is that I wonder? Seems like quite a few.

Seven, Twenty minute sessions... How many miles is that I wonder? Seems like quite a few.

Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Illinois is just under two miles, and Ridge Motorsports Park is just under 2.5.

In seven 20 minute sessions at BFR, I see about 75 miles on my trip odo at the end of the day. I suspect it's a bit more at Ridge, especially with no chicane and higher speeds on the front straight. Then again, it does have a lot of tight turns and is a lot more complex.

Hard to say which has a higher average speed, but Lapmeta.com (whoever they heck they are...) claims an average of 80mph at Ridge, and 87mph at BFR, so you'd likely do a little more distance in a session at BFR.
