Snarley Bill Posted November 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2009 weather was awesome. i took off on my nomad at 6am and got home at 3:30 pm i think i rode almost 350 miles. every time i headed for home i would make a wrong turn and head in another direction. i think i broke 25,000 mile again this season. i'm tired of riding this year, so now that the cold weather is moving in i'm going to limit my winter rides to about 75 mi. max. keeping up with tires on five bikes is getting expensive. almost succumed to the dark side, but just can't seem to go against the tire engineers. so i guess i will be hunting for tires for my nomad. just turned over 8000 mi. this morning and the rear is gettin in the danger zone. what a great day.

dynodon Posted November 8, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 8, 2009 Sounds like you had a great day, but why call it the "last ride" If you plan on riding all winter even if "only" 75 miles, those are rides too aren't they? Since Friday evening, I did about 280 miles, 100 by myself, about 100 with a large group and today about 80 miles with my wife. Was a great three days. But I don't put on 25 thou a year! Wow. I think I have averaged about 5000 each of the last three y ears since getting back on for the first time in 20+ years. Keep on riding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
