It's been real nice here too the last few days. Blue skies and in the fifties. I rode about 300mi. Sucks for those unable to ride. It's the absolute only reason I remain in CA.

It was a pretty day today for riding here in Georgia, however; I missed it due to working third shift last night and tonight. It seems ever day that I have been off this month it has been raining, but I have managed to ride about 800 miles this month (most in the rain or freezing cold).

We hit 44 today, and sunny, so we got our first ride in a couple of weeks. Seems like it's been forever. It felt really good to get out on 2 wheels again.

I rode about 200mi today. Was the first day in the wind for a couple of weeks. Not an especially warm day but not bad. Last night I slept like a baby for the first time in weeks.

Rode in to work this morning just to ride home this afternoon! Couldn't resist the 65* weather.

I'm hoping they let us go early today since we have tomorrow off and they usually let us go an hour or two early just before a holiday.
