Can't wait for summer

**glwilson** · 01-19-2010, 08:27 PM

Thank you Dan... that was a welcome sight in these cold winter months. The videos bring back some great memories... especially of you riding 90% of the time one-handed with the camera in one-hand and operating your clutch and brakes with the other!!! ;)

I got to ride yesterday. It was in the high 50's...but thanks for the reminder!!!

**peabo2k** · 01-19-2010, 10:14 PM

It was in the low seventies in Central Louisiana today. So, I got a ride in today and will likely get a lot more before the week is over.

I like the Black Hills best, but the Badlands should be a must see at least once. And of course its worth seeing more than once with a large group of Nomads.

Yea, I didn't do the Badlands trip. I took a side gig through Custer State Park that day to rest and relax and take pictures. I see I missed a unique landscape for sure.

Been raining in sunny so cal for 4 days straight now. Small tornado in Sunset Beach throwing boats out of the water....

another major storm moving in today expecting at least 3 more inches of rain...

We had a strange warm front come in before the snow on Sunday, so i was able to get out and ride for about an hour. Now there's fresh snow on the ground.

Badlands is a great ride. Thanks for the reminder. My son and did that ride the summer before last. I agree that on through Custer and the Black Hills is great too.

Weather is teasing us here. Going just above freezing during the day, but not enough to assure no ice on the road, and still lots of salt to wash off. then down to the teens at night. And unfortunately more truly cold weather is a certainty before biking season comes again in Michigan. At least the daylight hours are once again getting longer.

Thanks Dan. These were great to watch. My last ride was November 22, and I'm missing it.

Dan, the badlands are a very nice ride. We even had the pleasure of riding thru there when it was the greenest that the locals had ever seen.

After not seeing the video for months, and being in the dead of winter now, I was pretty surprised watching it to see how green it was.

**taranis** · 01-21-2010, 12:46 PM

Already having riding withdrawls lately, and watching the videos just made it worse. Really wish I could've gone last year and met some of you all. Some day...

In the meantime, it's 63 and sunny out. Time for a lunchtime ride....

**jestephens** · 01-21-2010, 03:44 PM

Dan, I appreciate that.

That was a fun week!
