    My "season" just started last week, and by then you had already surpassed what my average season total has been. And your weather there is no better than here.
    Man, you are not cutting that new bike any slack, eh. Out in rain and sleet and slop.

      Hehe
      My boss came in this morning and said, You riding that gorgeous bike in that crap! (he's Harley guy)
      My response: I didn't buy it to look at it, I bought it to ride it.... but yeah it looks good doesn't it?
      My hope is that it's over... but I've been hoping for that for 3 weeks now. The Truck hasn't been run in a couple weeks now... Live to ride!

              Yep, some Harley riders would consider it to be a sin.

                      Another cold Clammy day (low 40's) but slammed down a few more miles...

                      Did see the sun in a few spots...

                      Came across this Gorgeous all Marble church in Proctor Vermont

                      And After such a brisk and balmy ride I rewarded myself!

                        Nice shots Jedz. I finished off the last of the Founders IPA you left. I prefer Long Trail Doublebag though so stock up for my next trip up. I see you have a 12 pack of water in there too.

                        Today I went out for a ride...only 59F but sun out and fields are turning green with temps maybe hit 80F tomorrow.
                        Having fun with the VX. Bike is made for back roads of New England!

                            Going for ride has become regular these days.

                            But today was special for a couple reasons.

                            Out for ride to coffee shop this morning, but didnt need liner in jacket and didnt need sweetshirt either. Whaa hooo.
                            Stopped at this place where have view over bayou and river with sunrise, well, kinda late for sunrise this time of year, but sun still low.
                            ,


                            After hanging out at coffee shop with some folks I have gotten to know,

                            Then rode to pick up grandkid from pre-school.


                            Gramma Meme was there with van too.
                            And we all went out to lunch.

                            She has been liking playing tic-tac-toe on the placemats.

                            Then We went out to a park playground.
                            And then to I had a couple hours with her at her house.

                            Then I had about 3 hours to myself.
                            Headed south from there to area I dont often ride to since is mostly flat straight roads, but since I was in that direction any way....

                            Yah, straight roads out in farmland.


                            Was not too long and I was stopping to take off my long sleeve shirt.
                            Upper 70s this afternoon Hey! Hey!
                            And then a while longer was stopping to dig around side bags looking for mesh gloves.

                            Yah, can be some excitement on these straight roads out in farm land.



                            In the town of Hamilton there is this old tressel.




                            Then headed back.

                            First ride in somewhat warm weather, and first day for rides morning, noon, and afternoon.

                            .

                                Weather looks like it's turning in the PNW, 70's the rest of this week and 80's by next week. Mountain routes will be late opening this year, Chinook Pass\Hwy 410 had 100" of snow in March. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wsdot/...57695570108235 The picture of the skiers the "Wenatchee National Forest" overpass is at least 15 feet above the roadway. It is also the exact spot where the grey marine skies of the west side turn to the beaming sunshine of the east side. Awesome ride although you are likely stuck behind a motorhome. A great chance to experience the two Washingtons.
