Setting a record of sorts here in Seattle. The furthest into June without yet reaching 75. Today is overcast with a few showers, highs in the low to mid-sixties. No wonder I've got less than a thousand miles on the brand new bike I've had now for over 4 months.

You guys are the greatest! I've been out riding virtually everyday since I retired March 31. The only difference is now I get to pick the time of day. I'll have 10,000 miles on my '09' Heritage before it's a year old.
