Default rode today

Well the freezing temps finally broke here. It got up to almost 60. Had the day off so I took the bike out and went for a ride. It was a beautiful day and had a great ride! Life is good!

I hate you, Ed.

I'm traveling on business and my new Roadie is waiting for me to get home.

Hope that warm weather gets over this way. We did finally get above freezing today but still snow on the road.

Yea, the cold weather has FINALLY left SE TX, went for a nice ride today too. The bike's been sittin' in the garage for 4-5 days...temp was about 45*, clear skies and very little wind.

It felt GOOD to get out and ride.

BTW, condolences to ya'll livin' up north with all the snow and ice on the ground...but really, please don't send anymore of the chit to SE TX.
