    Default First Ride of the Season

    HI,

    Today I took my first ride of the season, went 105 miles. The temps were in the 70's/ sunny . Saw a few bikes on the road. Went thru Morrisville, Stowe, Route 100, then route 15 West, thru Essex Junction, route 2a to route 116 Hinesburg, VT, back to route 2 to Waterbury, VT.

    Saw one other spyder( had a Vermont license plate/ & the same color) on the road, which was riding with me.

    We got out about 10 days earlier on our first ride of the season to attend our MN Spyderlovers get together at Caswell Cycle in Mora, MN.

    This past Saturday was in the 70s and did about 240 miles.....now, tonight, maybe some snow! We hope to ride later this week again as it will warm up again. Winter can't hang on forever - right?

    I rode by the 2 painted silos in Jeffersonville( at the roundabout). Those painted silos are fantastic. Yea, it is great to be in the wind again. Deanna

    In Stowe, smugglers notch probably wont be open until some time in May. They usually mention it on our local news station.

    Stowe has some great eating places. It is a fun place to visit.

    It has a been a long winter, I sure enjoyed being on the road again. Deanna
