Talking It warmed up to 42* so I went for a ride

I finally got out on the bike when I saw the temp it 42* this afternoon. Finally got to ride with my Alpinestar S-MX 4 boots. I really like them, very comfortable even brand new.

I got about a 50 mile ride in today after not riding since before Thanksgiving It was also nice topping off the tank with premium for under $4.

But chance of rain in the afternoon. I work 6:30 to 5:30 so it's "dark thirty" when I leave and get home right now. Too many skittish deer to ride at dusk right now.

Get out and ride. We'll be getting snow again sometime and then they'll be all kinds of crap on the roads.

shit, I had the sled out today

Too bad the trails aren't open (they don't open until hunting season is over).

Still had fun though.
