Spring Ride

Spring Ride is finally here! I'll be leaving in the morning for a few glorious days of riding in the mountains with about 50 or so of my old riding buddies. I don't talk to them that much anymore as they live a long ways away, but I make sure to meet up for this ride every year.

Between Spring Ride this weekend, Deals Gap next weekend, and a trackday in June, I may just wear out the sides of the tires faster than the center.

Regarding the comment about the P22.. yes, they have a reputation of being buttery-smooth or jamming like crazy. Most guns I've had, if they jam, you just work a few hundred rounds through them (as frustrating as that can be), by then they will loosen-up and wear-in properly, or you will have left enough clues (in the form of scrapes on the interfering parts) that a gunsmith with file in hand can fix it up in 5 minutes. It's the lightest .22LR with the smallest grip I could find, and it's the one she wanted, so here it is.. If it was for me, it would have been a Browning Buckmaster.

Hope everyone that hangs at the resort is doing well. Looks like it's going to be 3 more Sundays before we make it out there. :/
