It's Spring! - There's open water.
« on: March 12, 2019, 02:48:37 PM »
A magnificent 0c (32f) today, but feeling much warmer because of the sun. Still a little ice in places, lots of sand, plenty of salt wash, but nothing to be afraid of if you ride with a bit of care.

A nice little two hour ride.

Nick

Yep, you make me feel like a poser. I bow to your superior toughness.  :bow: If it's below 50F, chances are, I ain't riding, haha.

Great to see you 'out and about' already this spring! Is your beloved Eldorado now fully repaired, and road ready?

Replying to my own quote :)....I finally got her out today....sunny 42 and most of the ice is gone from my drive and made it out to the road ....clear sailing...and a really nice ride. I am digging this bike! smooth little truck.
