My Ryde Today...What Abouy Yours?

[Dan_Ashley]

I took a short 50 mile hop today, through the canyon, up to the super slab, back through the foothills and then home. In the canyon I was going about 50 and suddenly, out of nowhere, came a swarm of bees. I ducked my head and bravely plowed right through them, slaughtering many of their tribe. Thankful to ATGAT, none of their missle stingers found my flesh.

When I parked my Spyder in my garage, I promptly retrieved my spray can of Plexus and counted the splats as I erased the bee carcasses from my Spyder. I murdered 57 bees. ...and I am a better man for doing so.

How was your Ryde today?

We did a nice 100 loop to our dealer and a stop for caramel rolls to ring he for dessert. It felt good to get out and ride.

Dan was that the biggest elimination of bee's you ever done or is that none of our beeswax, None the less I am jealous, I have been with out a bike for 2 month and waiting for a new 2014 rt ltd in April. I want to RIDE.

I just did about a 25 mile ride down to the store (the long way) and of course 35 miles to get back.

Was the 35 mile return trip; the shortcut?

I'm going for a ryde on Thursday the 13th to the dealership for th 2013-9 ECM update. It's about an 60 mile round trip mostly on freeway and
there is a local run this Saturday the 15th on local roads. Both should be fun.

Yesterday, just a run out to the base to use the track (walking), pick up some wine and back home. I did one of the backroads home and got a wild hair. I hit the straight and race shifted up to 95 mph. Then realized that that was a dumb move on my part since it's a country road with critters about. I backed down to 60 and hoped the critters wearing badges weren't about. Will ride to our club meeting tonight.

Spent some of the day cleaning things(debugging) from a three day road trip. Didn't stay clean very long tho. One night ride made sure of that but, a spyder needs its daily alotment of bugs. Doesn't it?

And THAT's how you do it!!

[Dan_Ashley]

I needed gas this morning. So I went to the gas station. I got lost on the way home and .... Well the long story made short .... I ended back up at the gas station 2.5 hours later because I STILL needed gas.

I also managed to get out at the weekend. A friend and myself rode down to Rye Harbour (Look in Google Images/ Wikipedia)
and had coffee and the mandatory fish and chips!! A good sunny day with temps in the 60s.Rye_Harbour_-_geograph.org.uk_-_360957.jpg As usual, click on the pics!

Living in Bridgeport California we travel 80 miles to the store [That's the shortest route]
The rides is the Sierra Nevada Mountains are great
I use any excuse I can to take the Spyder to the store
We have had great weather here this year so I have been able to ride all year [ but we need the snow here on the west coast for water]
New 2014 RTL uses a lot less fuel than the 2008 GS
I have 2554 miles in the one month I have owned the new bike

[Bob Denman]

Glad you came out of the bee swarm ok. That happened to me in 1976 or so. I learned a lesson about riding down the road with my jacket open. A bunch of bees when down my t-shirt and I had to pull over quickly and beat them to death. Yep! I got stung a few times.

Chuck,
If you want to stop by here; I've got over a foot and a half of the "White Plague" stockpiled all over my yard...
Take it with you... PLEASE!

I did the Washington lake loop today, about 35 miles round trip on my Cervelo R5 road bike

[easysuper]

We took the 260 mile round trip to the dealer to get the hitch installed this weekend , Rained the whole time , but we also wanted to try out the new all weather gear we bought , With her heated liner and gloves the Boss said it was just like riding in the summer as she felt like she was in a warm bubble ! If she's happy I'm Happy. Just getting prepared for our Coast to Coast Hwy. 20 trip.

We were in the land of Fruit & Nuts over the weekend and we enjoyed some really nice riding. We rode from the Bay Area down to Ventura County and then back home.
