Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far? - Page 32

Did get in a short ride today. Temp was around 50 or so and felt really good. Will be the last ride for over a week as we are expecting snow Sunday and Monday and then cold for next week.

rode a few miles just to feed my need,32 degrees out so i have had more pleasant rides for sure!

Got in a 200-mile ride today with the Vulcan Riders Assoc. We met at the Kawasaki dealer in Mesa, where they just happened to have a red Vaquero on the floor. I got to sit on it, feels pretty good. The bike itself looks magnificent. I like the shade of red, and the quasi-Nomad (old style) bags really look nice.

After our meeting, we rode to Catalina, which is north of Tucson for some BBQ at Bubb's Grub. Had a really good pulled pork sandwich, too. Then we rode back to the Valley.

Weather was nice, started out cold in the 30's but warmed up to maybe 60 by the time I got back home.

Coincidentally, the place we ate is maybe 10 miles from where the shooting of the AZ Congresswoman and federal judge occurred just an hour or so earlier.

I ook a little ride today. It was about 25 degrees It sure was cold! Tomorrow is going to be a little warmer and the weather channel just said that snow was due monday and tuesdayTenn weather is always changing !

AlabamaNomadRider · 01-08-2011, 09:35 PM

I should have ridden today but the temp only got to about 39, so I didn't ride. We are supposed to have snow tomorrow and Monday. After that for the next several days it will only get to 33 or 34 degrees. It will be at least a week before I will be able to ride again.

**ringadingh** · 01-09-2011, 10:09 AM

When its 39 here thats good riding weather for this time of year, 19 feels a little brisk at highway speeds.

AlabamaNomadRider · 01-09-2011, 01:21 PM

It is 26 now with snow expected later today so guess a ride for me is out. With the temps not getting any higher than 34 or 35 all this next week it looks like it will be a while before I can saddle up again.

It got up to mid 60's yesterday, so the wife and I rode for about 80 miles. Beautiful day.. Today is totally different. Rainy, cold , yucky. It'll be a week before we can ride again according to weather forecasts.

blowndodge · 01-09-2011, 07:06 PM

54 today. Rode to Tomk's house with Dave to help in the wiring of his hd trunk... Hand held up fine!!!

carolinakid1 · 01-10-2011, 01:03 AM

Rode Saturday with a buddy for about 40 miles. Cold, but the gusty wind was scary. Short trip and not much fun. :-(

jasonc32amg · 01-10-2011, 03:59 PM

125 miles this morning on the way to work...sweet weather

AlabamaNomadRider · 01-10-2011, 04:25 PM

Just couldn't see getting the bike out with 6 inches of snow on the ground. It will be next week before conditions will be right for riding again.

AlabamaNomadRider · 01-15-2011, 12:44 AM

Most all the snow and ice has melted off the streets. Temps over the weekend will be close to 50 and I hope to get at least one ride in.

**Cajunrider** · 01-15-2011, 03:45 AM

Took a short 20 mile jaunt yesterday afternoon. Temperature was 47 degrees. Wasn't too bad. I hadn't ridden in a few days with the serious cold and working nights.

**coacha** · 01-16-2011, 05:28 PM

Rode down to Tampa for the big RV show. Figured out that I don't have enough money to buy anything I want, lol. It was a good day for a ride, little chilly to start (40's) but warmed up nicely. About 190 miles round trip.
