Ruck'n around Southern MD (2013)

9/3/2013

I figured if I have a SMIB sticker on my helmet, I'd have to venture to the land of bad drivers soon enough. I completed a three day hike in two days so found my Labor Day free. Time for a no-direction, carefree ride on the scooter is in order. I packed a bathing suit, towel, snacks, sandals and sunscreen and OFF I WENT!

First probolem: I cannot cross the Wilson Bridge legally.

I went through Oldtowne Alexandria instead.

I had to venture all the way into DC then find a way across the Anacostia as well.

I cruised up Penn Ave to Temple Hill to Livingston and eventually down to Bensville (Familiar terrain)

OH NO! A turtle. Die schildekröte sind meine leiblingstier :clap
P1100945.JPG

Ruckus approves.

Cruised up to Chapel Point for the view. I checked my email and had a tip about a nearby beach from GS Pilot. Thanks! :thumb

Found myself a private little beach to read on and relax for a few hours.

More and more fisherman began crowding around and there was a veritable multi-family beach party going on beside me so I decided to peace out. GO RUCKUS GO!!!

Wound up at Mattawoman Creek

P1100956.JPG

Then I went "exploring"
P1100958.JPG

Stuff you don't normally do on a big bike...like aimlessly ride through a forest. I only got hung up on a couple tree trunks.
P1100960.JPG

Deciding a tresspassing arrest or fine was not on the agenda for the day, I made my way back toward home. I just liked this sign considering I brewed a whisky-beer not too long ago.
P1100964.JPG

P1100966.JPG

Damn near pegged. Pretty good for a 49cc engine.
P1100969.JPG

Accokeek
P1100971.JPG

I cruised up Indian Head into the district then over past the WSSC to the S. Cap St. Bridge with a view of the Anacostia Waterfront and the stadium. Traffic became heavy and I focused on not getting killed the rest of the way home.

Afterward, I took the other new Ruckus for a short ride around town to shake it down.

Will he keep both Rucki'? Will he sell them both and buy a newer one? What fabric socks does he really wear? All this and more...STAY TUNED :norton
