You got my email for the ones you couldn't post here, right???

It had to be a hot ride leaving at 3 in the afternoon. I'm in Memphis 5 nights a week and it's usuelly hotter than Huntsville or Atlanta. I rode through Arkansas a long time ago and after passing through Memphis it seemed to take forever to get through the flatlands and find some curves.

definitly hotter than atl, i'm learning. ya know they'res a adv dinner every thrus in memphis don't cya
