Enough with the cold weather already

It's April 2011. It's past the middle of April, for cripes sakes. APRIL!

Mother Nature is playing some wicked game with us and it's just not right. There was snow in my area just a few days ago. I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous.

So, how's a guy supposed to get ready and in the mood for a full season of riding? Huh? Sure, I have insulated bib overalls, cold weather gloves, heavy coat and so on, but really? Should I have to resort to all that just to get a little riding in?

Enough whining. Let's get on to more exciting things, like the first 'healthy size' ride of the season.

Fort Wayne, Indiana to St. Paris, Ohio to Christiansburg, Virginia, and of course, back home. 946 miles round trip. Leave Friday, return Sunday.

This will be the first trip I take on the new Cheeto. Yeah, that will be exciting!

Stay tuned, my Ride Rangers, and I'll clue you in once the 2011 Ride Season gets underway. That is, IF the snow doesn't fly again, and if the temperature gets above 42. For a whole day. For cripes sakes!
