        No pics but three terrific things about a ride today:
        1) My daughter was at a movie so my wife suggested we ride somewhere. We ended up doing a sixty mile loop (stopping halfway at her favorite Mexican restaurant)
        2) I discovered Ohio State Route 243, from Proctorville to Coal Grove. It was a lovely twisty road, almost twenty miles, 45-55 most of the time, and no stops.
        3) I'm pretty sure today's the first time I crossed into Kentucky on the bike. Gotta update the map!

        Good day!

            72 degF on a Saturday afternoon, yep, go for ride.

            Went for ride, and for something else I have been putting-off.



            .

            And I have an area of personal growth:
            Now using the new helmet I got 1 1/2 years ago.
            Had been been continuing to use my 12-15 year old helmet, because it is familiar/comfortable.
            But now using the new helmet even though it is a bit tight.

            Could say it is personal growth for Easter.
            Or, could say an Easter bonnet har har har

                Yep though I don't have any pictures. Started the day off with Cheyenne on her first ride of the year and my longest, 50 miles, so far. Then, for the first time ever, the wife rode with me after picking up a helmet for her a few weeks ago and new boots yesterday. She borrowed Charmayne's riding jacket for 26 miles of her own. Finally, Charmayne and I went across the street to the elementary school so she could work on her starts after a rough day yesterday for her (several stalls and a drop after one). A great day today I'd say.

                  Nice job Jedz, I'm a little jelly! Not sure what bike I would buy "brand new". I'm still messin' with my "T".

                  Thanks for the update Cowboy. Nice to hear your wife went on a ride with you!

                        Ha! Roger! I'll post a good shot if catch one. I'll be riding it a fair amount this year.

                        It has a 2 year unlimited mile warranty. I'm going to see if it needs it! Ha!

                            We can see you got a bag full of Frisbees and the course behind you.
                            If you want a tight fitting helmet, try a Bell. Mine squeezes my cheeks like it's 2 sizes small. But the intention is, so your face don't have room to bounce off the front of the helmet. They do sell replacement cheek pads that are thinner, but I got mine for the track and only wear it when I intend to do some fast riding.

                              Second that. My Bell is my favorite. They fit my head the best when I try them on. My 3/4 is a Bell. Since Im a careless young hooligan I still ride many miles with an open face. However it's very snug and offers very nice wind noise protection.

                                My Sedici helmet, purchased around Christmas time, did the same thing. Since then after wearing it now for a few months it has loosened up quite a bit. I can almost open and close my jaw without biting down on my cheeks. Might have to get replacement cheek pads if it gets too loose, huh?
