Default Rode 101 miles yesterday...

It was about 60 degrees yesterday... and all the crap on the forum got me riled up...so I got on my bike and headed up into Tennessee. I got caught in some light rain... but it wasn't too bad. I slowed down a bit in the rain and most cagers were pretty nice and gave me room. By the time I got back home into Alabama, both the bike and I were dry.

What a nice day! It's supposed to be 68 today... I might try to do it again! [sm=biker.gif]

I rode to work yesterday (37 miles each way). It was a little cool in the morning, 31ÂşF, but I was wearing a pair of snowmobile bibs, a sweatshirt and my riding jacket withinsulated liner. The temperature was in the lower 60's when I left work which made for a nice ride home.

I went out again for about an hour today... plus I needed to top off with gas. (I'm getting about 46mpg now that it's warmed up a bit.)

Hey Pig... that sounds good. Between work and school, an afternoon riding is quite a luxury for me.

How often do you guys get together?
