Finally, got the First Ride in Today!!!

We finally got the first ride of the year in today!!! :) Granted it was 60 miles on the interstate but it was still riding. The off interstate roads are iffy right now because of the flooding in eastern North Dakota and a phenomenon called "overland flooding." Being as flat as a tabletop has it's disadvantages when all the snow melts and it has to go somewhere. The road system is also the dike system so you have to be careful and I don't want to ride on roads with 3 to 4 inches of water and maybe a washed out road.

It was really sweet. Changes to the bike this winter included new Elite III tires, a new 130 decibel horn system, a GPS, rebuilt seats, finished the trunk installation, longer brake pedal and new clearview windshield. It's going to be a great year.

Hope your first ride felt as good as mine did.
