I rode to work this morning. It was 78F with a dewpoint of 73F at 8:30. Riding home won't be much fun, supposed to be 96-98F today. We've got a hot spell going now.

I am heading to a friend's daughter's graduation party in a few so I wont be riding today...and maybe not tomorrow either. But I have started riding to work more. Finally feeling really comfortable. :beers:

Good to hear you're getting comfortable on the bike :cheers:
Maybe, just maybe it finally stop raining by monday and I can ride to work. I did sneak in a quick 25 mile ride yesterday but the weather forecast doesn't look good for the rest of the weekend.

I went out for about 50 or 60 miles this afternoon between rain storms. Its just nice to have the bike back.

Its going to be warm and sticky this week here too, not 95 plus yet but mid 80's. Its been in th emid 60's with a lotof rain recently so these warmer temps will siuck with the humidity.

I washed the bikes, went for short spin, realized how hot it was and went back into the house.

Can't do any riding till Monday... cause I'm on call... and can't ever hear the damn phone ring... and the vibrate function isn't worth a damn.
but it's all good...
not like there's a lot of intresting places to ride in MS... :lol:

Decided to ride while running my errands today. I didn't ride all week cause the weather was rainy and tomorrow I can't ride.
Nice to get out, even just for a short ride. :D

I rode to work everyday this week and got rained on coming home each day, so not riding today was no biggie for me although it would have been a more enjoyable ride on my favorite local roads.

Ha that was me last summer! I was working about 60 miles from home and gas was $4 a gallon so I'm going to ride my bike. Well being new to the area, I didn't realize that a 30% chance of rain is basically a guarantee in this part of the country!!! Man I got soaked at least twice of week!!! I'm sure you know how it rains down this way, like the bottom fell out or someone flushed the toilet!!!:lol:

True but it's still better than the "doom and gloom" predictions. According to them we should be at about $5+ a gallon right now.:lol:

Good to see Im not the only one who thinks the vibrate on the storm sucks. I cant even feel it if Ive got the phone in a holster on my belt at work unless Im standing still.

I'm at just over 3000 so far. Hopefully I will have another iron butt or two and money to keep riding to jump ahead. I doubt it for this year though. Once I actually graduate and start making real money, I'll have a much better chance.

I rode for about 3 tanks of gas today. :lol: I don't know how many km's I went but I do know my bike hit 25,000 K today! :rockout:

Thought I might get out today and nope. I thought I might at least get to ride my bike from the barn to the garage. Nope. Hubby did it, after telling me to do it myself.
I guess I won't be winning the mileage contest seeing how I only have 157 miles on for the entire year so far. LOL.
I'm planning to ride to work tomorrow, thus the reason the bike got moved to the garage.

I put in about 150 today and it was out fucking standing!!! Low traffic, zero police, no animals. Just me and the bike! God it felt good!:rockwoot:

Mine is still running strong as hell.
I think there were more people riding through winter than are riding now.
