Congrats on getting her out. I have really only had one good ride this year. It has been snowing and cold ever since.

Glad to hear you made it out. This time of year is so tough with the rapid changes in weather, hopefully it keeps getting nicer now!

[radco]

Is the weather finally starting to break up your way?A Bud in Onterio said they had alot of rain,, cannt remember his town,,,,, Rich

[flavor]

Well Rich, you sound like you're all set for the season. Now all you need is to break that knee in for the longer trips you have planned...............

Good friend of mine had his knee replaced about two months ago.

Amazing, the technology we have.

[radco]

Jim .Yea a few years ago it would take longer to recover,,,The short trip I did was no problem,, so I should be good for the JUNE trip......... Nice to get in the saddle again :)

[nightmare]

Thats great to hear that you finally got to ride, cant beat that Nomad for reliability

[radco]

The Nomad was good before and seems better wuth my new knee LOL... well maybe its the first ride of the season rush :)

[socwkbiker]

Congrats Rich! Glad to hear you finally had enough good weather to get out and ride! Here's hoping the snow is done for the year!

When I hear the stories of the first ride of spring it almost makes me wish I could feel that feeling. Although spring is when most riders are on the road and the weather is comfortable enough to ride all day. I am usually only off the bike for two to three weeks at a time if you count riding to work and some weekends. On second thought I will keep my weather and enjoy riding year round!
