I also hope that all ride safe and enjoy the area. We have been out twice this week and as always rode safe.

There is a huge difference between riding on the left side of the travel lane and riding with the bike handle bar extending over the center line. I don't know why there aren't more accidents caused by this type of bike riding. Please remember all those times when opposing traffic drifts over on to the center line, perhaps due to drivers texting etc. or otherwise not paying attention.
