Actually got out for a ride!
#1
Well after 4 months of no riding, the weather was nice enough (67 degrees and sunny) to break the bike out and go for a ride. Big Grin Put in about 50 miles on one of my local loops, not much traffic, roads weren't too dirty. By the end I actually started to feel like I knew how to ride again Tongue Didn't get any pics, I have a bad habit of getting on the bike and going with out stopping, oh well.

Congratulations on the ride ... 67 degrees and sunny ... sounds like a Harley rider. Big Grin

I can relate to going riding and not stopping. Smile

Sounds like a retired canyon rider from California.

Makes me feel better as I realized the other day, I have more photos in my album from etech and roadside pros than from me.

Thanks GG! LOL! I kind of set the limit for voluntarily going for a ride in the low 40's. With the winter we've been having it's been rare to get a day warmer than that with dry conditions... Looks like it's supposed to be nice again todayBig Grin

Sounds like another ride is in order today! On the RS I would go in the 40s no problem, although before Covid I used to commute down to a cold as it would get here in Houston, occasionally down to freezing. Smile

Well temps were low 70's today, so another ride was in order Big Grin. The loop I did today had some very dirty spots where people had dragged mud (A LOT) out onto the road, so you had to watch out. But very enjoyable!

Not sure where you are located, but we had similar weather and similar sketchy roads today in NC. Great to get out!

I got out for a short ride today, only 36 miles. It was in the high 30's when I left.

Cool looking eBike. I liked the video.

Speaking of which, I went for a ride last evening with my work riding group. Got as far as the meetup point maybe 5 miles away and when we were about to leave, the battery on the lead guy's bike (Harley Wink ) died. We just went down the road to a food truck place where we had a meal before going back home. This was the same bike that on a previous trip to Arkansas had its inexplicably shifter fail ... Although in all fairness a battery is an expendable item and it was an original battery on a 2014 (with maybe 15000 miles).

Love it . Very retro in a clean Minneapolis sort of way. Here's a previous version sitting at Gateway.[Image: 1990e753a1d21043f32cfce3e3da97d6.jpg]
