Headed out this morning at 4:30 for the commute to work. 18 miles so far for the day. May take a ride later today.

Did You Ride Today? Where To and How Far?

Rode to auto parts store in preparation for pre-trip maintenance. Luci needs an oil change, and I suspect that 4 years is long enough to go without cleaning the throttle bodies. Once the temp comes down a bit this evening I'll turn on the stereo in the garage and get to work.

1 mile is better than no miles.

I did the commute to work, 18 miles round trip.

True. It's been up on the jack for almost a week.

Rode to work and then headed out to meet Blue Raven in Hamilton and we rode out to Haggersville for ice cream and to discuss our plans for the ride to the Rally - about 67 miles.

Got a 100 mile ride in this morning before the temperature got to high. Started out around 70 when we left breakfast and ended near 90 when we pulled into the garage.

But I did get my cruise control fixed.

Well after I got the bike all cleaned today I went for a ride with some friends down to the lake (Erie) for a coffee and boy there must have been a thousand bikes there enjoying the sun, sand and lake.

Put on about 68 miles. Great day with super friends.

Rode yesterday with a couple of friends down to the town of Elbe. Just outside the entrance to Mt Rainier. Bikes by the dozens were out. It was the 1st Summer like day we have had.
Low 70's and not a cloud in the sky. Less than 80 miles but good miles.

I hopped on the Nomad yesterday afternoon and rode down to Grand Lake in NE Oklahoma. Temperatures were in mid 90s but not much wind. Had a great ride of 160 miles. Saw a lot of bikes out.
