Title: 2018 first ride of the year.
Post by: LawnmowerRG on December 31, 2017, 01:00:23 PM
So tomorrow may knock out 2 important ride for 2018.
1,  it's January 1 first day of 2018. ;D
B, it could be the coldest day of this winter. ❄️

So I am planning To leave the Bike Shop in Leeds about 12:00 noon.
If anyone responds I will have some coffee and Moto movie of some type going. You are welcome to ride in hang out and warm up. (If you have a preference speak up. I will choose a place before 9pm today)

I plan to make a slow reasonably short ride to LakeView for lunch. Where we can spend some time eating hanging out and warming back up.

We should be at lunch by 1 at the latest. I am going to scout/time the route now.
So, yes I am out riding in it today.

Ok important info.
Ride was about 45 minutes. There are places to shave time off by eliminating distance.
Not uping speed.
Top speed was 50/55 average about 40.

Hope y'all have a great ride, Lawnmower!  I haven't heard of anything comparable up here in Huntsville yet, so you may wind up earning the record for most miles travelled in the coldest temps tomorrow! ;)

 Got a call from work. The plant is down today because of the holiday but someone forgot something...fire watch. They have to have someone there in case there is a fire, so I am going in @ 3pm.


I can use that triple time pay.  ;)

Dang.  I'm at work too, but I think my boss forgot the triple time part.  :)

So that many people showed up for this little ride? I gave it some serious consideration but I am about 3 hours from Birmingham.

I enjoyed my group of one.
There was only one small argument.
.Other than that we all got along pretty good.

+1... sorry that I missed this.

I met a friend for breakfast and we went on a short ride because he had to work second shift on New Years Day.
