That perfect ride
I've browsed a lot of threads and usually see folks complaining about this and that, but how about a positive thread about that perfect ride. This morning the weather was around 65ish, got the HD out, geared up and just went on a nice two hour ride, not a single cloud in the sky, it warmed up to about 70ish and I wasn't cold nor hot, just right. I live on the edge of town so I took off to the country side and forgot about everything that happened during my Monday thru Friday, came home instantly feeling better and with a smile on my face, all from a simple ride.

Coming home from Ft. Davis TX a couple of weeks ago. It stared out cold but warmed up to the 70s because there wasn't one cloud. We had our leathers on and it was nice going 70-80mph. We went to eat toward the end of the ride and that's always a treat. 550 miles in the sun.

Every time I nail that perfect ride I lament leaving my 35 mm at home, and promise myself to bring it the next time. But the next time I always reconsider because taking the kind of photos I like best would interrupt the best sections of the perfect ride

I'm of a mind that biking is just like golfing or fishing; never a bad day doing them. Pretty much all rides are perfect because I just love being on the bike. That said the most perfect rides are the ones I've taken up Trail Ridge road in the Rockies. Spectacular country and scenery. Lots of twisties. Picture stops everywhere. Clean air. You name it. It's awesome.

A last minute ride! Last year on Labor Day. My friend Mike texted me about a ride up north. When we met at the gas station there were 7 couples. Not bad for a vacation weekend! We ended up in International Falls at an awesome resort right on the border of Canada. We had a great meal, stopped along the way for pics and the weather was perfect. 440 miles later we ended back in GR at the Dairy Queen. It was like no one wanted the day to end. Perfect ride with our friends!
