Default 70 degrees today

Took a pretty long ride today--the first since I put new wheels, tires and rotors on the bike. It was really nice to get out and enjoy the good weather. I hope most of you got a chance to ride today as well.

I snapped a couple of pics after pulling back into the driveway. I snapped them with my new cell phone and the I thought the quality was decent although I am a crappy photographer.

I appreciate it.

I was really happy to just get out today. It's either been very cold, heavy rain or both for the last couple of weeks. Today was just awesome.

It was 75 here in Northern VA yesterday - a great time to ride in November. I was out for a couple of hours. I wish I wasn't at work today - another 75 degree day!

Ah! the Hill Country. Some great roads! My wife and I lived in Pflugerville for 3 years and wished we still did. One of the best places to live had it not been for the 2 hour (some days) drive home work from South Austin (MoPac and 290).

I got out yesterday too, it was about 65 but really windy. I plan on riding all week this week too. The nice riding days are getting less and less. I hate Indiana!

I don't like the seat that much at all. I normally have a badlander on it, but for long trips it is rough. I am probably going to spring for a Danny Gray buttcrack seat this winter--with gel insert!
