She has two bikes a GS500 and a GZ250. The low was 40s the the high was 52. <br /><br /><b>Keith:</b> yes, we were so lucky with weather when you and heather came to visit. The "rules" of this ride are one of the reasons I enjoy it. <br /><br /><b>Sonja:</b> Having her along made the ride for me. Because of scheduling we haven't been able to spend much time riding together, so this was a treat. "ordeal of gearing up" I think my wife might agree with your husband ;)<br /><br /><b>Trobairitz:</b> I love days like that. cloudy to sunny is great. a nice reward for getting up early. <br /><br />Yes, I like rides like this more than the traditional group ride. gives me a chance to stop and take a photo or two. <br /><br /><b>Gary:</b> LOL! If they didn't bite so hard, I would try! ahah. This was a very tame ride by weather standards. The last week or so we had snow, but now it is gorgeous again. I could get used to 50F winters.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-60416850584514091072011-11-23T13:22:39.846-06:002011-11-23T13:22:39.846-06:00The title of this post had me thinking something l...The title of this post had me thinking something like "I know Chris rides many things, but swans?". I am looking forward to a winter of reading about your regular rides in dreadful weather, but this one seems tame by your standards.Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-1345526108833819302011-11-23T11:07:03.117-06:002011-11-23T11:07:03.117-06:00What a great day.

I am glad she likes her heated gear. It can sure make a difference.<br /><br />The organized ride sounds neat. It is good when you can ride your own ride and then join up for lunch later. I agree, less drama.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-76575131727471988272011-11-22T21:09:10.460-06:002011-11-22T21:09:10.460-06:00What a lovely outing, especially this time of the ...What a lovely outing, especially this time of the year. Great that the wife tagged along. I like my little solo rides but I appreciate if my hubby goes through the ordeal of gearing up and coming along.<br />You seem to be lucky with the weather so far.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-37966122975414892492011-11-22T18:21:37.651-06:002011-11-22T18:21:37.651-06:00Seems like a dream our being up there.

I think I'd like the rules of this ride enough to maybe even look forward to it ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the share.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-6441135619668893442011-11-22T15:58:07.632-06:002011-11-22T15:58:07.632-06:00Does your wife ride?

My wife and her son are visiting a school in St. Paul and after the -35F here at home, she said that it is wonderfully warm. That looks like a great reason for a ride. Is it actually part of a survey or project?RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
