I ride most days. saw fewer bikes on the road than other mornings. Days have been HOT in SC. Most riders I see are in the evening when the temps are cooler. I don't mind as long as I can keep rolling.

Yep. I always do. I even took the extra long way to work this morning. Then again, I usually do that too.

The best part of my workday is the ride in...and the ride out. [sm=biker.gif]

Yep, as usual. Did the extra 63 miles yesterday and do that at least once a week. I go north about 30 miles, flip a U then head in to work. Clears the head and i am ready.

Yep, I even forgot that it was a ride to work day. The traffic was not to bad on the Dulles Toll road and Route 66. Saw the usual idiot getting pulled over for his ticket because he was not HOV compliant. Hope that I make it home before the thundershowers this afternnon.

Did not ride to work... Its dress up day, and I am worried about the showers this afternoon. After riding from Winchester VA, through WVA home to Bethesda last week in torrential rain, I am a bit of a rain wimp. Made it ok, but really stressful, and VERY SLIPPERY due to the large amount of rain! Going for a ride tonight if it does not rain!

Speaking of riding to work, anyone have a good idea where to put my EZPASS so that the reader will "See" it? I tried in my leather jacket, but that does not work, and I am not into taping it to the windshield. This would make the morning commute a lot more fun instead of having to stop, dig for money, and then start off again... The one thing I hate about the Toll Road in VA, is that my EZ PASS works like a champ in the car, but never worked on the bike.
