Blackjack Posted January 2, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2008 I'm just getting in from a wonderful 150+ mile solo ride through the gorgeous farmlands east and south of Atlanta. It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine and strong winds. The temperature hit the low 40s, but the wind chill dropped that another 8 degrees. Of course, that doesn't count for what I call "bike chill", which is the additional 10 degree drop you experience at 75 mph! So, that's a good start to the New Year! I sincerely hope and wish for a healthy, joyous, and prosperous 2008 for all of my great friends on this forum, those I've met and those I haven't met yet!

Squidley Posted January 2, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2008 Didn't make it on the bike today, but yesterday did about 300 miles on our trip to Victoria TX and the M&E with Hipshot and his band of desperados Happy New Year to you Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx2sturgis Posted January 2, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2008 Got some riding in today...only did about 30 miles around this area, its was a bit chilly, and I spent the warmer part of the afternoon installing some 'goodies' on the bike...but otherwise, yes...it was a good start. I stopped to take this photo near one of our big grain elevators. You can judge the size of the structure by looking at the red locomotive parked on the tracks near the elevator. Hey I enjoyed the company of several members in the chatroom last night! Later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted January 2, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 2, 2008 That is fabulous Blackjack!! I also just got in from a little over 400 miles today.. It was sooooooooooooooo beautiful out!! We are at just under 20 degrees and almost 4 inches of fresh white gold.. The fields, trails and roadways were glistening like diamonds when I shut the snowmobile off about 45 minutes ago.. What a way to start another wonderful year of riding... Wishing everyone a GREAT 08!! 'Puc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86er Posted January 2, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 2, 2008 Glad you had a good ride, Terry. Wish I could have joined you, but as I said, I had plans already set. I did ride about 15 miles yesterday. And I also got the truck out and did some cruisin' in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
