82 miles today. Rode to work then to the regional semi final girls' tennis match. Get to do another "work trip" on Thursday for the regional final match. Gotta love riding on the company dime.

Only 160 miles today. Between rain and work, it doesn't look like I'll get any more in next week.

The temps were in the low 80's and the sun was out so Crystal and I took off.
We rode east to Petit Jean State Park. We walked down to the Cedar falls overlook.
Had lunch at Mathers Lodge. Then headed home. 180 miles round trip.

Does riding the mower count? Had tornado watch and some rain in the area but got the yard mowed.

Rode 170 miles with the wife on the back. From auburn, CA. to Angels Camp, CA. and back. Beautiful day out here today. Was a great ride. We were accompanied by my buddy and his wife on his FJR.

First ride of year! Only 35 miles but was 42 degrees when I left the house. Driver backrest on mustang seat is great. Highway pegs are good an I think the powder coated crash bars add some speed....

It was 104˚F on the way home today, 105˚F yesterday. My round trip is 54 miles and I don't go out to lunch. Takes too long to get to the parking garage and out. by that time 1/3 of my lunch time is done. Yesterday I made the mistake of riding without my jacket. Never again. I normally do even in the hottest, but I had a delusion that it would be a good idea.
