Finally got out for ride on this beautiful spring day..
It was around 4 this evening before I could get some wind and it works out that I couldn't have picked a better time. The bike was running smooth and strong as usual despite the unusually long hibernation this year.
The road was all mine as I laid into the big sweepers of hwy 19 winding my way north. I got behind a mini somewhere up the mountain but luckily he had come to play so we had a great run all the way to Wolf Pen.
I got behind a van just as I turned west but he soon flagged me around him so I was running open highway again. Lot's o' gravel on Wolf pens eastern end.. remnants of the abundance of nasty precipitation this winter but it was much better on the western end,
Hwy 60 was all mine as I turned left so I let her roll... note: cold tar snakes equal traction.... Man! I needed that.. what a great ride! Clear and open running all the way back home...
