Title: 2017 first ride.
Post by: Troll on March 17, 2017, 14:02:43 PM
Not much of a ride, but I don't usually get ANY miles on as early as St. Patrick's day...so everything I can get is a bonus. Still pretty cold out, and there is still some snow. We had freezing rain last night, but it got "warm" this afternoon...

Still have tons of snow and lots of sand and gravel on the roads even a few ice spots.....so no rush to get out.

We had snow a few days ago.  Lots of salt, gravel, and potholes out there.  I will wait.

Nice day for a ride here in mid Florida but when you all are enjoying the summer riding is when someone turns on the sauna here and we must be in before 10:20am or we melt.

That's okay Troll, keeps the mileage down on your Drifter.

Every year, since 1966, I have set mileage goals at the beginning of the season. My base goal is 10,000 miles and only twice have I not reached it. Once was in 1998 when I had a heart attack in October, and last year when I missed the 10,000 by about 600, but made the secondary goal of 110,000 on the Drifter....I don't want to miss that base goal again...ever!
