First ride yesterday. Roads ice free except black ice in the shadows. Gravel everywhere, especially corners. It felt marvelous! A word I don’t use much. Checked tires, needed about 5-10 pounds, check fluid levels, checked brakes and took off.

Listened to Feels like the first time, foreigner. Then meatloaf.

March is always a questionable month. Good days and bad . Sometimes it goes right to spring others it drags on. This year it seam to be dragging winter out to the end.
