Default Got In 150 Miles Today

Record high temps here in Oklahoma today and tomorrow. The wife and I had a nice 150 mile ride on the lonely rual highways today. On one stretch, we didn't pass another car for half an hour. Wish you snow birds could have been with us.

Great for you and you OL! I did get in a little ride yesterday and it sure felt good. I'd rather talk about riding than loud pipe. LOL We have 10 days to get packed up and moved to Prescott so my riding time is now limited. =) Lowryder

Agreed: Good for you. It was 45* here today, which is a vertual heatwave, as of late.

It's always a treat to get to ride in the winter when you're "supposed" to put your bike away...

It was a GREAT ride today, wife and several others took out and enjoyed the day, logged in just a little over 125 miles. I met them at 2:00 this afternoon and got some saddle time in. Tommorrow is supposed to be even better. We are both off andwill be ready to ride. Wife out cleanning up on her bike now, guess I need to go do mine. Maybe I'll bribe her.

ME TOO BADBOB. ITS AFTER 6 HERE AND STILL IN THE 70S. ABSOLUTELY THE PERFECT DAY TO PUT 150 MILES ON THE OLD EG.

Good for you!!!

I got in about 30 miles or so. Was nice just to ride around a bit. Still quite a bit of sand on the roads tho, and at most intersections, there were some icy spots, but nothing too extreme.

It was in the high 30's today in Frederick, MD and I did about 50 miles of back road riding. With the heated jacket liner I was very toasty but new the wife wanted me home. Tomorrow it is suppose to be even nicer and I will be out!
