anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

Thanks Roger. I love that sand dunes pic. It looks other worldly to this east coaster.

Otherworldly indeed! Like at any moment one of those ornithopter ships could buzz by.

I've been wanting to go back and visit White Sands National Park here in NM for some time. As a kid I had a board we used to slide down the dunes. I just hated the climb back up in the hot sun.

It snowed here yesterday, but I got out today for a 50 mile spin. It was 39 degrees when I left. 38 as I rolled the bike back into the garage.

Then that makes a big difference. I saw a guy riding a Harley this morning and the temperature was 37. Of course, he was not wearing the proper gear for those temps and he looked like he was freezing his go-nads off. Didn't even have a helmet on.

[GS1150Pilot]

I had full gear on. My gloves weren't winter spec, so my hands were cold, but otherwise, I was reasonably comfy.

Went out for a 20 mile ride today. Just around the small town in which I now live. Temp was 45 or so, so not too bad compared to last week.

Recent weeks have been mostly in the 30s, some 20s, maybe low 40s but rainy.

Today, who-hoooo, upper 40s and partly sunny, a little breezy.... but pretty good for Dec 8th... and I am glad to be available to go for a ride on a Friday, hey! hey!

Got bike out... opps.... licence plate tab expired about 3 weeks ago (says NOV 2013).... I know I got an updated one, or so I thought, but wasnt finding it .... took me about 15 minutes to find it.

THen out for ride. Went out of town a ways.


THen back into town, for an errand, and then stopped at sandwich shop for lunch.
(Owner is harley rider, and I know he puts bike in a storage place in October hee hee hee)

THen thru town and past this beach overlook place, just to see the waves the wind is kicking up

(I know, you have seen this view before......)

THen out of town the other way, rode for a ways, circled around and headed back home.
Was good to get out for a couple hours. Should have had heavier gloves and other gear to have gone further/longer.
BAck to rainy weather tommorow.

Got in a short ride to look at Christmas lights around town last night. It was 30 degrees out, so I limited the ride to about 20 miles.

< < h e a v y s i g h > >



30degF, 25-30mph winds, snowing . . . . . .

[Redman]

Did get out this afternoon for about hour and half, Christmas Day ride.
Weather forecast wasfor 50degF, but didnt seem to be happening, so 42 was good enough.

Not much to report, other than did get out.
Was fairly quite out.




And near boat ramp


Was out for about hour and half.
Got sprinkled on a couple times, and then coming back home for last couple miles was a light rain.

I recall years ago here on GSR, Mr Leon Focus Frenzy (Texas) would have a long ride most every CHristmas Day.
And now that neither wife nor I have older generation to visit, our only holiday gathering is with our kids and grandkids, all on one occassion. So we had the day to ourselves.

It's great that he made it a tradition to go out on his bike on a special day. I can understand the idea of cutting back on holiday gatherings now that you and your wife don't have older family members to visit. I often catch up on the news here. It's still important to make time for each other and enjoy the holidays together.

Flagged. I don't think we're interested in you Romanian online Casino.

I rode the Harley to a friend's house 2 miles away in my neighborhood on Sunday. Had a drink, chatted about his Mustang build (578 rwhp), then toodled on home.
