Nice. I'm hoping to get the wife out for a full day tomorrow....which will be the first of the season.

Like I always say, "cycletherapy" beats psychotherapy hands down.

Took the wife on a pre-Mothers Day ride. We had a blast.

Wine tasting in Utica. Well she did, I don't touch the stuff.



We stopped for a drink at the Psycho Silo Saloon. I had a root beer.




This place is cool, and always packed






Pit stop at White Pines State Park.






Downtown Oregon....the wife was getting popcorn.



262 miles. But it took us 11 hours. We stopped and visited friends, so that added three hours to the trip, and meant it was dark and much cooler for the final 10 miles.

Monday Funday! Screw working for a living!



Bellvue Iowa.


The Mighty Mississippi.

Lock and Dam 12.

Lunch in Dubuque.

Just a cool roadside spot, near Sabula Illinois.

Stretching my legs at Castle Rock State Park, IL.

A nice 8 hour total.

I was just out wandering, took a few turns just to see where they went.

Nice ride! Wanted to skip work today and hit the Mississippi but some dumbass hackers kept me busy patching servers all day. They could at least have some sympathy for us working folks. Just hack the CEO's or something.

Great pictures and really captivating thread. Great job Jeffro!

May I ask what software/app you're using to create the maps?

It's the HD Ride Planner. It's under the owners tab on the HD webpage.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I've got 8600 miles on since February, it's gonna be another good season.

After too many days of rain, the sun broke through, and the Harley broke out.
