Rick Butler Posted January 7, 2008 Share #10 Posted January 7, 2008 Hey Bill, I hope this ride was just you and Melissa. I'd hate to have to report you to the Activity Committee for participating in a "Secret Ride" And speaking of riding, how is your elbow doing? Fine I hope.

BuddyRich Posted January 7, 2008 Share #11 Posted January 7, 2008 78 and windy here today. Between projects I got couple of hours in. Its amazing how far you have to go to find the right bit for your drill .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Ardrey Posted January 7, 2008 Share #12 Posted January 7, 2008 Great riding weather here and got in about a 3 hr. ride. Some wind but very good riding sunny weather in low 70's. That winter storm from California is supposed to hit tomorrow and may spell serious thunderstorms when the gulf warm and wet air hits that cold west to Northwest winter storm. Like they say in Oklahoma. It you don't like the weather just wait a few minutes. Although they say that about a lot of places. Okies and other midwesterners batton down the hatches!

Jerry W Posted January 7, 2008 Share #13 Posted January 7, 2008 We rode a little over 100 miles Sunday, a little windy but if it is warm, I am riding this time of year. Gotta' love 60 degree days in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasrices Posted January 7, 2008 Share #14 Posted January 7, 2008 Went out for breakfast and sat out on the patio overlooking Galveston Bay. After that we headed on out down through Galvestons west end, over San Luis Pass and onto Freeport. Tried to get lost in Danbury and made for home. After getting home and riding over 150 miles, I was ready for a beer. Bright sun, 70 something degrees, wind in our faces. Does it get any better than that??? Oh yeah....and its January.

sarges46 Posted January 7, 2008 Share #15 Posted January 7, 2008 minus 5 c today...I did not get out for a ride...but I did look at the shed where the bikes are and cried a little!:rotf:Only 4-5 months to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted January 8, 2008 Share #16 Posted January 8, 2008 minus 5 c today...I did not get out for a ride...but I did look at the shed where the bikes are and cried a little!:rotf:Only 4-5 months to go! Agree with yah Sarge, But it is pretty sad these guys have all this nice riding weather and there not even riding. (100 miles here, 150 miles there, that's not riding ). EH SWIFTY ? Besides if we had all that nice weather we would never get anything done around the house. SO this small winter break gives us time to get the things done inside. When you southern folks get out for a real ride, come back and tell us about it and don't forget to show us some pictures. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocking Posted January 8, 2008 Share #17 Posted January 8, 2008 Way to rub it in...cold with a foot of snow on the ground ... All that's left is the Packers and the Badgers....

Squidley Posted January 9, 2008 Share #21 Posted January 9, 2008 I was glad before we totalled the bike that we got a nice ride in to visit with Hipshot and the gang down in Victoria TX about 300 miles round trip. The weather was perfect New Years Eve sunny and about 75.....I'll keep that day in my head until I can get another bike and go for another ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoutman Posted January 9, 2008 Share #22 Posted January 9, 2008 16 miles to work this morning at 32 degrees. The ground was warm enough that there was no ice where the usual suspects left their sprinklers on. It will be in the 60s when I ride home. That's 32 miles in one day, not bad for January 9th. Might even take Mrs. Sweetie to dinner for her birthday on the back of the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
