Didn't feel too bad; and enjoyed it. Oh yeah... Kendra went with me. Can you believe that? LOL! She is getting tougher; and made the comment: "I'll bet Gibby is riding today". I told her Gibby rides every day except when there is snow, ice or salt on the road. In other words... it was my "kind way' of saying "you are nuts Gibby!".

Would have like to have ridden yesterday and/or today, but not having a heated garage I was forced to put both bikes away and now I'm just waiting for spring.

I can't believe the forcast through T-Giving here in MN. To be riding in mid November, well, I got nothing to complain about! Course by Friday, we fall back into reality.

This is definitely one of those years where riding (reasonably comfortable) this late in the year is a gift.
I have ridden on Christmas before though... so there is hope guys... there is hope! I have decided the bike is not being put away until I see consistently cold weather, snow, ice, or salt. I will ride to work on Wednesday; but cannot ride any before that. And then I am traveling for the holidays... unfortunately without my bike. Enjoy... boys and girls!

Yeah Jeff, the forecast says it. One nice day left before reality arrives.
I'll ride back to work again tomorrow and then put the Nomad back into storage.
