Going riding today... finally
With the stupid weather we've been having lately, I can only go for fairly short little rides. Either that or the nice days are during the week when I have to work.[sm=smiley19.gif]
Today finally looks like the day to get in a good ride. [sm=smiley20.gif] The weather is supposed to be cloudy, but no rain and pretty warm (upper 70's).
So I figured out a route and I'm heading out in a bit. A guy at work told me about a road he found that he thought I would like, so I have to include that in the trip. Only about 350 miles planned, but it's better than the 50-100 I've been doing mostly this winter.
Get out and ride if the weather is nice where you are! It will brighten your attitude (at least I know it will mine).

we had a blast - I'm still a little nervous about my take-offs and I certainly don't feel ready for traffic just yet.... but I don't think it will take too long for me to get the hang of it! txn_driver is a great teacher and we will be posting new pics soon.

RE: Going riding today... finally
I'm back and I had a great time! I was so over due for a trip like that. 358 miles. My butt hurts a little, but my soul feels better.
Here's the route I took (and I took the RR )
As you can see, I avoid the interstate like the plague. A little later in the afternoon as I was getting closer back to the city, traffic and cops started getting quite a bit heavier, so I had to dial it back a couple notches. Other than that, it was FANTASTIC!
I'm going again tomorrow if it doesn't rain. [sm=yeahsmile.gif]
Checked 4 sources for the weather.... 2 said it was gonna rain and 2 said it wasn't.[sm=WTFsgign.gif]
