Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far?

AlabamaNomadRider · 06-21-2010, 09:44 PM

Liked the good morning and good night threads and thought I would start a "Did You Ride Today" thread. If you rode let us know where you rode and how far and anything else you would like to say about the ride.

As for me today I only rode to work at K-Mart which is roughly 5 1/2 mile one way from my house. At least it gives me a chance to ride each day if it isn't raining. I will be off Wednesday and hopefully I can get in a good ride or Saturday which is my next day off.

Haven't been on the bike today yet, but plan to. Yesterday, even with threatening skies I rode the bike down<s> to get a haircut.</s> so I could get a haircut. And yes I got them all cut.

I commute to work M-F, roughly 54 miles round trip.

Glad to see a few of you are posting to the thread. When I ride I enjoy it so much that I want others to know I rode and the feeling I have when I do ride.

I did the round trip to work again today for a total of 11 miles. I am off tomorrow and hopefully will get in a nice trip. Also off Saturday and another chance for a nice ride. I will post and let you know.

For you guys that posted, thanks for taking the time to let us know.

Well I took the ride I was hoping to do. Not far but managed to ride out to the seaside town of White Rock near the U.S./Canadian border for a breakfast/lunch. Then out to the Fraser Valley to the Abbotsford/Aldergrove area and then over to historic Fort Langley and back home to the city of Langley. All in all about two or three hours of cruising on the Nomadavidson. Gaud ! I love the new look and feel of the new fairing and trunk.

The usual ride in to work (13 kms/8 miles one way) but on the way home stopped by a couple of shops to look for new set of tires.

fish · 06-23-2010, 10:49 AM

nope, to dang hot

cactusjack · 06-23-2010, 02:23 PM

I haven't ridden since I returned home from Cortez on Friday.

firemanbrent · 06-23-2010, 03:40 PM

12 miles to work today!

zoom45 · 06-23-2010, 05:25 PM

Went to work. 52 miles round trip.

AlabamaNomadRider · 06-23-2010, 05:50 PM

Left out about 9 this morning and rode to 278 Custom Cycles to check on getting front tire mounted. This is located near Walnut Grove, AL and then rode down to Gadsen and stopped in at Cycle World to check their prices on taking the tire off and mounting and balancing a new tire. 278 Custom Cycles Charges $50 to do the tire work while Cycle World charges $73. The round trip was a total of 63 miles. Good to be out in the wind.

AlabamaNomadRider · 06-24-2010, 10:28 PM

Only managed the round trip to work so that was only 11 miles. I will be off Saturday and hope to get a ride in.
