Second best couldn't be better

......My co-pilot was experiencing some technical difficulties so I left her in the hotel and set off to make my bones in the twisties.

This is one of the most memorable lines I've ever read in a ride report.

The QQ Enterprise looks extremely well suited to those gravel roads and trails. I love those bamboo forests and look forward to getting out there again soon. Your report inspires me to do so soon!

Edit: Also, it's nice to see that imgur.com is working well for hosting your pix. I'm not sure if it's my computer and (smallish laptop) screen, or your choice of image size, but some of the pictures you've posted are so big they don't fit the standard MCM screen so I have to scroll back and forth, and up and down, which lessens their impact. On my host, Smugmug, I can choose various sizes when linking a picture into MCM, and I typically choose something less than the full megilla, usually "medium". Does Imgur allow you to downsize a bit for a better fit?

thanks!
