Got the 2006 TA out Thursday and Friday of this week. 80 miles each day. Temp here in Northwest CT mid 60's. Not bad ride. It may be a few weeks until I can ride again. The temp must get above 50 degrees. Got my first Covid immunization shot yesterday. Will go back 4/3/21 for the second. Perhaps the fall we will get back to some form of normal, or should I say whatever the NEW normal will be. RIDE SAFE
118,000 miles and still going strong.

Nice... I'm biding my time for now but looking forward to some road time myself in the near future.

I got out for the first ride on Friday last. 43 F, I rode about 25 miles. Saturday it warmed up into the high 50's F, got about 80 miles in. Last night it snowed 2-3 inches. Riding is back on hold.

Tempted but there is still so much sand and salt on the roads I think I'll hold off for a bit. My wife suggested that I dont even take out the E-bicycle as the grit will gum up the gears. Soon.

Been lots of bikes on the road past few days around Ottawa with temperatures climbing to 21 but alas, not me.
