Rode to work today. First time this season. 39 deg this morning, cold but not unbearable. Love the fairing on this thing. My riding buddy, who rides a softtail, won't consider riding until it's at least 60. I didn't understand this until I realized he doesn't have a fairing or a windshield so I do understand now. Too bad, he's losing out on riding and whining about it, too. The best part is riding home, it'll be about 55. I'm going to explore a new route, one which has much less traffic and goes through rural areas. I already avoid the freeway, which is notorious for having mattresses, fridges, lumber, etc. strewn about. And the other route I take is just getting too crowded as people avoid the freeway for reasons already mentioned.
There was a biker who died here because he hit a mattress lying on the freeway :wtf: - it was dark and didn't have time to avoid it. So the other route may be my new one. It will take longer but I'm on a bike so I don't see a problem. Plus I have an hour lunch so a short ride may be in order.

I'm jealous. 24 degrees this morning in MN. Last year I was riding before the end of the month, don't think that will happen this year.

Even if the roads weren't to salty here there's no way in hell i could get my Wing up out of the yard right now. It will be at least May before I can get it out.

Wilmo isn't the weather just wonderful today along the Wastach Range. This weekend we should tons more bikes out on the road.

 

[wilmo]

I will be one of them but may not stick around the range, I need a lottery ticket

I always liked the back roads going through Honeyville to Franklin or Preston, Id.

That is exactly the way I go. SR30 to be exact. I only discovered this route last year and now Sardine Canyon doesn't exist in my world. Another advantage of this is there's an ethanol free station on that road just outside of Logan.

 

[clpete]

Yep, SR30. I usually turn left on 23, avoid Logan, and go through Newton. Last time I was on those roads Dicky was following me.

66 here Friday so it looks like my first commute day. Excited.

I kind of remember riding to work earlier this year when we had a freak warm up, but tommorow looks to be my work day. supposed to be chilly in the AM, but I have some heated gear dammit. Go time.
