Very cool, nothing like cruising enjoying beautiful scenery and tunes in the wind.

Got off work at 4p. It was 50° and dry. I got ready to ride as fast as I could and took off. It was dark by 5p and windy as hell soon after that, but I still enjoyed my ride.

Was able to get out for an 80 mile solo ride Sunday. Winds were 25+ MPH and gusting higher. Bike was amazingly stable, but you talk about wind therapy!

Beautiful Black Rideday weather. Took a ride down to Peoria. Sunny 50° - 70°. Winds were from the south, so I figured I'd ride into them, then get pushed home. I saw a bunch of bikers out today. The next three days look doable.

I rode from 10am to 4:20pm.
