Longer Days

Being almost the end of January, we have weathered (pardon the joke) deep cold and snow, being the northeast part of the country. Rain, snow, ice, salt, sand and wind as the norm. Last week in the single digits at night and then today high 30's to mid 40's. Spring is just around the corner, riding season coming soon. This year I have my bike in a garage and not its own shed. I am able to look it over more often and move it around some. I long for my first ride which is usually in March when we have our warm up and then back away under cover for another 4-6 weeks as the days grow longer and sunnier (we hope), bringing warmth of a newer season. I am hoping to ride from the beginning to the end of each day. I have looked over my gear already and thinking only new gloves this year should get me through until all the rallies and vendors and sales start. I park my ride to wander around to see what new or old gear is around. Like an antique hunter I move from shop to hut in search of that treasure I must have. Spring shows signs of longer days!
See you on the Road!
