Default New Years Day ride, awesome!

35 degrees when I started at 830 am and 50 at 12 noon,

Frozen streams


Slushy roads


Spectacular views


Filthy bike, lol!
burned a whole tank of gas on New Years Day, way to start a new year, lol! Rode 50 into Romney, then 29 towards paw paw then 9 back to Berkeley springs and 522 to Winchester. Did country roads, mountain roads and everything in between.

Glad you were able to get out after the cold we had. Now the clean up begins.

Waxed both bikes this morning and took the Harley through the countryside for 55 miles. Little traffic, mid 60's and sunny.

Went out for a ride and was on 522 as well lol just from Winchester to Front Royal and further down to 211 then 15 back home. A lot of riders were out single and groups. New year is off to a great start.

Put on 144 miles myself. Very much needed for my mental health.


Put on a 144 today.

Crossed the Mason Dixon line twice

Much needed ride for my mental health.

Nice ride Kojak!

We woke to good temperatures considering, but extreme fog and a light mist with wet roads. I was unwilling to get the bike all dirty. The sun was supposed to come out at 12 noon and it was two hours late. We finally rolled at around 2pm and did three counties with 52.3 miles with the Carolina Girl. We rode Belinda and had the stereo cranking! Stopped in Tanglewood for Thai food, rolled by the old Win-Mock barns and on back home. It was a nice ride for sure. I hope to get out again tomorrow as well.

God Bless and Happy New Year




























I did not shoot any rounds last night. So when we returned home I pulled out the DD and fired 23 rounds of 556. Happy New Year!

Wait - you don't want the bike to get dirty? The guy who writes about riding all the time is only a fair weather rider? Okay - didn't see that one coming.
