Default 150 miles yesterday!
Here in Ohio, the weather has been pretty crappy. Snow, overcast, low 30s when we normally have 60s this time of year. Well, yesterday was sunny and 50 so after work I called my riding buddy and off we went. 150 miles that was a bit highway, a bit back roads, a bit of twisties. The new streetbob handled awesome and rode smooth as silk. Only problem I had was keeping it under 80 where it seemed to cruise the best. What a great time and a great ride. Btw, today it's back to the 30s and overcast and they are calling for snow the next 3 days.

Hah, fellow Columbus rider here! I got in 90 miles yesterday. I'm really getting tired of having to wear so much gear all the time when I'm normally back to just a sweatshirt and vest this time of year.

What roads did you ride?

Yeah, I'm so sick of the white stuff, it isn't even funny. I guess soon enough it will be warm and I will have forgotten how crummy it's been, but until then it sucks.

We went out 674 to 188 the back way into Lancaster, then shot down 33 to hocking hills. It really was a good mixture if riding and a great trip. On 33 just before hocking, there were several troopers busting people for speed. I got really lucky because I was waiting for my buddy to catch up so I slowed down. Lol.

The weather has been pretty crappy here too. Not super cold, but a lot of rain. It finally broke today and I was able to get 4 buddies to go for @200 mile ride with only an hour's notice.

Good on ya for getting out! I got some riding in last weekend--about 200 miles in all with 120 on Sunday... but then, as typical as it is in Utah in the Springtime, we've been cold and snowy for the past week. I'm hoping the forecast holds for next weekend and we should be up to 60 again.

I rode about 60 miles on Saturday. It never got above 40. It was very cold. Can not wait till this BS weather is over.
