Wednesday afternoon this past week, we were hit with a snowstorm that laid down over ten inches of snow throughout the area. Here I was thinking spring had arrived; old man winter wasn’t finished with us yet. The area temperatures stayed low enough for the snow to solidify and stick around—even pockets of piled up snow remain despite a day of 70 degrees.
Naturally, there was no ride. Playing dodge the icy spots on the road on a motorcycle is not a great idea even for the most skilled riders. We did start the motorcycles, and my R Nine T needed to burn off some oil.
Next Saturday is sunny and low 60s—perfect riding weather. And I am really in need of a ride, so I’m crossing my fingers that I can make that happen.
