    Default Christmas Ride

    30º outside today. I put on my Baja Ron First Gear riding suit, my gloves, boots and rolled the out of the garage for the first time in over two months. The sun was shining and I wasn't going to miss a chance to ride. Since we had a house full of family and I had lots to do, it was a short ride. 22 miles in about 40 minutes, but it was a ride none the less.

    I'll bet that it felt GREAT to just clear your head a bit, with some "Wind Therapy"...

    A short ride is better than no ride at all!

    Great! I think I do that too while the ground is dry.
    It's 4 degrees Celsius but as the saying goes; a short ride is better than none at all!

    See you all in a bit!

    Yesterday it was 37 F I took my 15 year old Grandaughter home to her home in Clinton. About 7 miles away. It was great, my Grandaughter loved the heater hand holds, we had a great time. I have a goal to ride at least 1 day each month of the year.

    Default Christmas eve for me

    I got out for what was suppose to be a short ride on x-mas eve. I just got the snowmobiles out that had been in front of the Spyder & told my wife I would be back in a few minutes. It was only 34f & I only had under armour & jeans on the bottom. Well an hour or so and 32 miles later I came back up the driveway. What a nice ride and I was on a bunch of roads near my house that I never been on.

    We were able to do the Christmas ride also. The kids and granddaughter left at around 11:00. I asked Paulette if she was up for a ride (stupid question).
    42 degrees F and we rode for a little over an hour, not too bad, 42 miles.
