Wink 1 hr ride today!

Was able to break away for an hour it was wet and there were snowflakes in the air but it was great to hear that rumble and feel the wind. So much for a mild winter, but ski pants and some thermals it felt like summer out. The only downside was for an hour ride I spent 2 hours cleaning the grime and crap off the bike. But well worth it....Predicting snow tomorrow and let it come because I rode today!

Don't know how you guys in snow country make it thru the winters! We have had a lot of heavy rains here in CA this year and that's been bad enough! Congrats on getting a ride in today!

I had to get out and get the wheels turning on New Years day. I rode for about 45 minutes, spend an hour and a half cleaning afterwards. That's the price you pay sometimes, but it was worth every minute. I backed it out of the garage again yesterday and cleaned it again, but mostly that was just an excuse to fire it up and listen to it for a little bit.

I got out for 3-1/2 hours today. It was in the mid to upper 30's and still a bit of evaporating water from last weeks snow on the road, but an excellent ride overall!

(had to get out today, cuz we're getting more snow tomorrow )
