And that's the kind of riders Joe and I are. On days like these we fight the sun glare, mid 80's temperatures, maybe even some wind. It takes a tough breed, but we're up to it...
still waiting for it to get out of the 20's. Right now it is 23. Ride safe and Ride a few miles for all of us.

Yes life here in the desert is good for year around riding. And I don't mean to rain on your parade but... Back in 1998, after 30 years of that great year around riding, I was disgnosed with a malignant melanoma. That is the most deadly form of cancer.
During my yearly physical, something some of us old farts do, the doctor spotted something on my back and set me up with an oncologist to inspect it closer. The oncologist took a sample of the tissue from my back and told me to come in the following week to get the results.
The next evening the oncologist's office called me on the phone and told me to come in the next morning. As that was on a Saturday, I suspected it was something serious. The next day while I was face down on a table I heard him tell his assistant "Cut him deep. REAL DEEP". According to my father, who was sitting there watching, the doctor cut about a fist sized tumor out of my back.
And Joe had a good idea, wear sunblock. An oncologist told me to also wear a 'big floppy hat'. Living, and riding, in the desert is nice. But there are some pitfalls out here. And it does get hot here in the summer, but summer night rides are GREAT.

Glad to still have you around - I'll bet each mile after that day has been just a little bit sweeter. God Bless.

+1 on the spirit in which this intended. BITE ME TOO!!! Montana winter is here, and I've got solid ice for 1/4 mile to the paved road. Couldn't ride if the sun did ever shine. And it hasn't for about 2 solid weeks. Glad somebody is getting some riding in. Be careful out there. Don't you know it's winter, and cages don't pay much attention for scooters during this time of year?
