Mostly it was just to see if she'd still run after I tore everything off the top to check the valves, and put it back together. It did, woohoo! And the doughnuts were awesome.

Roads still covered in sand. Took a short hop around the neighborhood (about 10 miles) just to say I did! First ride of the season. Everything's working fine. Still only 45 degrees but I hope the worst of winter is behind us !

Roads are now clear of snow but still lots of gravel on the sides. Went for a 50 mile round trip on the 2 lane hiway last Sunday. It's sunny and 11c during the afternoon. A touch cool but with some warm clothes it's wonderful!!! whoo hoo spring has sprung!!!! Going for a toot tomorrow. They say it's supposed to snow on Tuesday so need to get a ride In quickly. At least now when it snows, it won't stay around for long.

Myself along with a couple friends went on a great ride yesterday. I took them along the way my hubby and I ventured a couple weeks ago. My trip was 120 miles and by the time they got back home they had riden over 200. Weather was sooo great as 62 and sun so bright. colder temps and rain are in the forecast for the week ahead.
Lots of bikes out and a couple staters, no bikes pulled over at least not along our route.

I have a meeting and some visits to make at the hospital in Greenville, about 35 miles one way. It is supposed to be 65 today, but it is starting out well below that, 36 right now. I know that is far from what others experience. I can put on enough clothes to keep warm.

I did the cam chain and tensioner last week and took a couple of rides around here. With the eastern NC weather getting right (maybe 70 later in the week) I am ready to park the truck and get back on the bike.

I went out for a little ride yesterday. 1st time this year. It was about 55 degrees and the roads are dry. The only problem is all the sand on the road. I dealt with that okay. I took a ride to my mom's camp to check out any storm damage from the winter and found most of the beach washed away. There is a little brook that runs along side the building and overflowed its banks and took most of the beach with it. So I guess I'll be spending next weekend with a shovel and wheelbarrow trying to get the sand back where it belongs before they close the dam(they drop the water level in the lake every winter). Oh well, it gives me something to do.

Like for AL, it was about 55 or so here yesterday, cold in the morning, so we waited until afternoon to venture out, but YAAAYYYYYY, first ride of 2010 is done! It was brisk, but sunny, so we didn't put on the chaps. Tops of my thighs were the only thing that got a little cold, and chaps would have solved that. Only rode about 30 miles, stopped for a bite to eat and just took a leasurely ride, just to be riding! It rained last night, so hopefully that will wash more of the grit off the road!! Today is supposed to be nice and tomorrow is predicted over 70°. Dodging the potholes was easier than I expected. Can hardly miss them in the cage, but piglet did great!

Well, it kissed 70 degrees today and I put both the bikes out on the road for short store trips.

Spent time putting air in tires, and fiddling with them a bit making sure they are ready for the real season which will start in a few weeks. Amazing how much air you lose in a front tire over the winter time.

Tomorrow it hits 70-75 degrees with lows in the mid thirties for the rest of the week.

Cherry trees have busted out in glorious white blossoms, daffodils are up and making heads, robins are out pulling up worms, grass is showing green on the roadsides, red bud trees are shagging out some little green leaves.

Pre-spring in the south in other words.

Jest enough of the good stuff to get your spring fever cranked up really good for when the next sleet & ice storm hits us and puts us back into nasty old winter time.

Hey, I didn't get sick at all this past winter !!!

Amazing !!
