Yep, they are saying 65 tomorrow! woo hoo. Unfortunately I have a grandsons birthday party right at 4 pm, the warmest part of the day, but will get in a good ride before it.

Golf? Cool

Met my brother for lunch then went riding. 126 miles today. Warm in low to mid 60's but holy smokes was it windy. Winds up to 30 mph. Rode a lot at a 20 degree angle going straight lol. Will see if any of the pics turned out that would illustrate this. Still a good ride!

ok here you go. Look at the angle of my windshield and notice in upper left hand corner death grip on camera as I try and steer and take a pic in this wind one handed lol. Brother normally rides in the right 1/3 of lane. Wind kept blowing him over to my 1/3.

head another direction and the wind hit us from the other side..still angled windshield, still death grip on the camera lol

we vowed next time it's this windy not to ride in the country with the open cornfields, but to ride down town and let the building block the wind Thumbs Up

You can see your brother leaning into it too.

Careful near tall buildings. Wind can do some very strange things around them. I used to have a Honda C90 and the occasional gust around one building I'd ride by would nearly lift it off the road.

well no wonder we were getting blown around..the 30 mph winds on weatherbug were the steady winds.. on the news they said we had gusts to 60 mph.

Bunch of trees down in the area (and electric out) thanks to the Emerald Ash borer killing them, then the wind gusts pushing them over.

My fingers would ache with cold too if not for the heated grips and snowmobile mitts.

Another of motorcyclings many unsung joys is singing in your helmet. The equivalent of playing air guitar, or singing in the shower. Smile.
