1st Ride of the New Year!

[ride4now_imp]

2015, January 10th. I rode down to the Thunder By The Bay bike event in Sarasota Fl. 115 miles or so round trip...and a cold start at that - 51 degrees.. I wish I had not left my heated gloves in Georgia!! Ferrett, I know you ride in even colder temps with ease...but my Florida blood is THIN. Anyway, the show (if you want to call it that) was Ok, but it did get me excited for Daytona in March. Here's the proof...

That's the Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay in the background...



The design of this bike... I never get tired of looking at it.



A bit crowded on Main Streat...



Of course... I had to ride by one of my stores... to check out the traffic!
I can't stop working...

Good job ride4now, 51 is nippy. It's still fun to get out and feel the " tilting horizon" as someone else put it, and a 100 miler+ is a good one. Love the 2 nd pic! What kind of stores do you have?

FWIW... I ONLY ride in weather colder than that because I am forced to. My preference would be 70 and above. If my family hadn't moved back to Ohio from Florida in 1960 you might have seen me out riding today lol
