It finally stopped raining here in central CA, yesterday was in the 60's, got to ride to work for the first time in weeks! Went out for a putt at lunch & then took the long way home. More rain this week, I know it's not as bad as the snow in the rest of the country, but it's still a pain in the ass. Looking forward to spring & lots 'o riding!

We are supposed to get a few days of rain and ot be truthful I cant wait. Get the salt off the roads

Neat photos Road! I am hoping for a good rain also, Supposed to start tonight for two days!

Started cleaning the garage today and had to move the bike, so down the road we went. First ride of the season!!! Woo Hoo!!! I had a trooper on my butt for the last 5 miles. I was waiting for the lights to go on, but he kept on going when I pulled off the main road. Thank you!!

OK OK Watch it there SideKick.

The first season ride is only surpassed by a good mates love; most of the time.

And the first season ride was made better by being a brand new machine. Well not brand new, 2007 that was still in crate with less then a mile on it when I picked it up

Great riding weather here this week. Got about 60 miles in on the Softail and then hooked up with a neighbor and did about 125 on the Lectra-Glide.. YeeeeeHaaaaaa!!!! Todays Friday and I'm headed to Vienna Md. YaHoo....

Any day can get better with a ride. Had to ride this week ad I was working on the wifes car. She told me that the riding is doing me good and I feel better. Everyone needs to get out more even if it is only to and from work. RIDE ON EVERONE and be safe. Injoy likfe as it is toooooo short.

This week has been a great week.. the mornings have been cold (34-39) but I just reminded myself that the ride home would be great (45-60)... I can handle a little cold just so I can enjoy a great ride home...

Hoping for the ice and packed snow to melt out enough today for that first ride. Don't want the first try to be a dump in the slush. Hard to get 700 lbs. back up when it keeps sliding! It is looking good for a stretch to clear today! Can't wait!

Got out and did a short 60 miles today just foolin around for the first time in a while. The boys are leaving today for a karate tournament in Jackson, Ms so I get to play the weekend. Lets see now, work on the shed or ride saturday? You guess and working on the shed ain't the answer...LOL

Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, ride each day. Can't go on the side roads much because of all the sand and gravel laid down this winter. It just felt so good!!!! Lots of stares "cuz Ely's sorta dead this time of year - in between the snowmobilers and ice-fishermen, and the canoers and fishermen. Pretty quiet 'til I cracked the throttle a few times. Now back to a little snow and rain and 30's for about a week.

Finally got my girlfriend to go for a longer ride with me yesterday. We got about 70 miles. We had to go to her ex husbands, Im loaning him a backpack for a Grand Canyon hike, then rode towards home, she said she was craving an olive burger, so we went to a little bar we know of, then just out riding around. So she got a little of everything, back roads, freeway, daylight and night. I think my solo night rides may have just come to an end. Damn the luck!!

Got to go out Tuesday, did about 80 miles on the wife's softail on Wednesday, screwed around thursday and sorta got a ride in but, Friday did a little over 100 miles on backroads... Left Seaford this morning and rode down to Chincoteague Va and back with the Missus. 75 miles one way so got in over 150 miles today. Had to bribe her with a Seafood Lunch down on Chincoteague Island Va... Yes, that's the famous "Wild Ponies" of Chincoteague ISLAND.... No! We didn't have horse steak sandwhiches! Brain, Brains!!!!

RICO MEETS A CELEBERTY ON HIS RIDE TODAY

Riding either my own bike or on the back, the last few days. Rode to Underwood family farsm, Ojai (about 150 miles round trip), and around town to run errands. Last weekend, rode from Arizona to California on the back. It's been 80-90 degrees. Today, "cooler" at 76*. I am so grateful living where I live!

Rode into town and met up with Jessie,a new CF member who lives in the next town over. Nice guy so we are gonna be doing some riding in the future. Thanks Lucky for the venue! Meet a lot of good people so far from here.
