Default Nice day for a ridde in Maryland today!

I went out for a niice ride this afternoon. 52 degrees and sunny! Was out for a couple of hours and only saw one other rider! I think that people must be starting their Christmas shopping!

Supposed to be even better weather here tomorrow!

The weather is supposed to be warmer tomorrow and on Monday.

I rode yesterday. Coming back home down the Dulles Access Highway at 5 pm, I was treated to the most beautiful sunset. The sky behind me was dark blue, but the sky in front was purple, red and orange where the sun hit the clouds with a shimmering cream color in between. It definitely made it worth the frozen fingertips from my commute to work that I had to put up with for the first hour of work yesterday.

Surprisingly, I saw three bikes out on the road before noon today. All of them were the touring models with the full fairings. I was so jealous, since I was stuck in the cage with The Missus and The Kid in tow.

I tried to take the kid out today, but he was bouncing around on the back of the bike. No matter how much I yelled at him to keep his *** still, he just wouldn't stop so I had to turn the bike around and head home early. I think it was still too cold for him, that's why he was being so active on the back.

hopefully we'll get out tomorrow for a while. i've been letting the bike sit for the past month or so due to rut season, hunting season and the install of new rubber.

It was cold and foggy all day by the Bay. I did take the 48 for a test ride after installing the new bars.

I got out for a hundred miles or so. It was great, but I need better gloves.

I did not wear my new winter gloves today. Looking to give them a try next weekend. I rode about 50 miles today.
