Well it was 75 here in NorCal today and a beautiful day for riding. As I was coming home from Tilden Park/Grizzly Peak I started thinking and hoping that all the states that have had a brutal winter would thaw soon and folks could finally get on their bykes again. Then I thought it might be fun to have a thread you could share your ride as your Spyders exit their hibernation or a place to post your rides when you get out. There may be one of these threads already so I cheated and labeled mine 2019. Share if so inclined!
Here are 2 pics. One looking towards San Francisco and the other of the Carousel in Tilden Park. That one is special because my parents used to take me there when I was a 3-4 year old. That was a long time ago.
It’s been renovated lol. “Back in the day” it was an old wood structure that if you rode one of the horses on the outside edge you could grab a brass ring out of some dispenser every time you went around and try to throw it through a clowns mouth that was painted on the wall. They don’t let you do THAT anymore!

We rode in the Snake Saturday parade in North Kansas City today. Sixteen Spyders from the Kansas City Spyder Ryders showed up to represent. It was a good time. It was a bit chilly riding in this morning though with temps in the high mid 20's.
Did the farthest ride so far today, not far, just across the city. It gets better each time. Now I feel as though I am steering the Spyder and not just aiming it. Also getting used to the motions I find strange after 67 years on two wheels.
