Default How was your ride today

and how many miles. I took off for my first long ride of the year. Did 300 miles , up to the Kangamangus in Lincoln NH for a burger. Took the longer way home to stop off at the dealer just for the heck of it. Felt so good to be out there all day. Getting ready to fire up the grill for dinner. Today was good!

That's a nice area up there, been there. Me, I hit the swap meet and sweat my butt off. Maybe 80 miles round trip, short ride.

Get anything good at the swap meet? My wife really isn't into riding. Will go on a short 1 hr ride, along the coast, but that is about it. My daughter loves the bike but I fear her falling asleep back there. Can't stay awake more than an hour in the truck.

Left the house @ 530AM this morning to head to work. Roughly about 4 miles. I will do the same 4 mile trip on my way home.

Clear sky's and no a lot of wind and 89°. We just went to eat lunch in a town 40 miles away. And since she had to work, we came home afterwards.

Short! I got my behind soaked in a pop up shower about 15 miles from home (where my rain suit was located). One minute is was clear, and the next I was in a downpour that lasted about 10 minutes. Just long enough!

Got in around 90 miles today just putting around. Beautiful weather today though. We sent our rain to Kentucky!

Fantastic. Did about 53 miles of lovely canyon twisties, climbs and descents. Took about 3.5-4 hours. Felt wonderful with the knees in the breeze and the fresh mountain air drenching my lungs.
