Default Palm Springs

Stuck in Palm Springs and my bike in AZ. man what a nice place this would be to ride. If” one, I had the time and two, my bike. Couldn’t help but notice they have rental HD’s at the airport. If you’re still snowed off the road, you should make the trip, even from the conference room it’s great, well almost. Dallas next week.

Yeah it's nice this time of year. The summer is unbearably hot. Your bike would overheat the first 20 minutes

Be careful. Both times my wife got pregnant we were in Palm Springs. It must be the water or something!

Just returned from Dallas yesterday to round off the two week trip. Not good weather in Texas but much better that last week with ice and snow, and the traffic is something else, I would assume that you all just leave town on your runs. Some great food in town I added a few pounds.
