New Years Day Ride

Nothing organized. I ride with the PMRG (Phoenix Motorcycle Riders Group) and they do have a ride scheduled, but I am on call for work and can't be away for that long. So when I can sneak away, I'll get in a 50-75 mile ride through the desert.

Don't wuss out Basco! What's a little cold weather? Go for your ride then have your wife warm you up! ;) Gotta see the positive side to it.

New Years Day Ride

Went for a ride this morning around 10:00. Went out and about for about 60 miles. It was a good day for a ride: 70, light wind, sunny...not trying to rub it in.

This afternoon I was wiping Big Red down when my wife came out and was hanging around. I finally said "do you want to go for a ride?". I must tell you I have not taken for a ride on the bike yet since I haven't had it that long and it had been years since I rode last. So I had her gear up and I took her around the block a couple times, about 6 miles or so. She loved it.

For all of you that have your minds in the gutter...have at it...lol.

Tried to do the Polarbear Run. At 7:30 AM roads were reasonably dry, but by 9:00 AM we had an inch or two of snow and temp dropped to 21 with winds gusting to 25 mph. I don't do snow!
