Happy birthday Lash!



Got in ride #3 today.  50+ miles fetching some prescription drugs and then wandering around the country side.  Stopped by my favorite little lake where I spent many hours in my youth.



I would have stayed out a bit longer, but had to get back as my furnace is on the fritz.  Needed to get back so the furnace tech could get it sorted out.

Looks like next week might bring multiple riding opportunities!   8)

Happy Birthday Lash!

Good to hear you got for some fresh air in the face Dennis.
I'm still waiting for the snow to go away and some good rain to wash the salt off the roads here in NH before I get out, plus the driveway is mud city at this point, still frost in the ground maybe a foot or more. It's supposed to be 59° f tomorrow and lots of rain. If it doesn't freeze so they put salt on the roads again maybe I'll try getting out through the mud, @150' from the back of the barn.

My day was just out on the snowmobiles with my wife which is good anyway. Glad she likes to participate in riding and sledding. We are off to Newfoundland again this year for two months and will tour as much as possible. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes!
Still lots of snow but raining today..

Is that your work ride or did they haul you away in it for going too fast on the sled?

Just the local police. I never speed, well maybe once in a while!

I hope this forecast is somewhat accurate!  Other than old Blue, the bikes haven't been out since last September.  Fingers crossed I'll be getting some seat time this coming week...  For me, 65F and sunny is a perfect day on the bike.   :)

 Yes, that looks terrific Dennis, and ol’ Blue is looking good.
My first spring ride is always cautious, until the road/roadbed is thawed and solid, and I have seen it once or twice. Too many freeze/thaw cycles overnight is hard on the roads. No bugs, and ATG is comfortable. :)

I’m hoping next Tuesday for my first ride of the year. Could get up to +8c with any luck. Roads are muddy so it will be the KLR!
