Cold Fingers… What Cold Fingers?

What a great ride! Clear, Sunny, Cold…  so why did I not wear full gloves?  I guess I was so pumped about finally getting out for a ride… I didn’t think that I might need full gloves.  It was 40 degrees with a little wind chill.  Thanks to the adrenalin… I shut out the cold [...]


Ready To Ride…

Need I say more about the “Mac Attack”…

First Snow For The Tarmac…

I know this isn’t near the amount of snow many of you see.  But for us… it doesn’t happen that often.  We got almost six inches.  Now… we’re expecting temperatures to be close to 60 degress three days later. So, I hope to warm up the tires on the Tarmac this weekend.  Hope you all [...]

Learning To Drive…

Here’s a picture I took very carefully.  You can just barely see the front of a white car over my shoulder about to pass me… see it there in the right of the photo.  It’s a student driver… as in a young teenager learning to drive.  Fortunately, they passed slowly and confidently.  The good news [...]
