Talking Yee haw!!
First ride of the year yesterday. Got up into the high 40's, sun shining, ice melted off the drive, and I'm back in the saddle again. Oh my Gosh, I can't tell you how great that feels after months of being locked up in the cabin... The world is finally right, at least my little world. A couple hundred miles, no bugs, crisp air, wind in my face, and sun in the sky. It just doesn't get any better!! Had to share this with all my Forum Buds...

Glad to hear you were able to put a few miles in.

We got a foot of snow overnight and it's still snowing to beat the band here.
