Getting the funk out!

After watching the weather reports and removing all the snow and ice from the driveway on Sunday I was really getting itchy for a ride. Tuesday came and so did the warm weather with the sun. I shut down my computer early and ran out of work right at 4:30 to speed home and get on the bike. I knew the neighborhood road would still be bad but knew I could get out to the dry pavement. I pulled in the garage, wheeled the bike out into the sun, started it up and let in run while I quick ran inside to put on my riding gear. Once back outside the bike was warm and ready to go. As I sat on it and made my way to the snowy road I realized I had an audience, most neighbors where out looking awkwardly at me as I road through the snow. Once on the dry pavement I cruised the main roads for about 22 miles. It felt so good, I was smiling from ear-to-ear enjoying every mile of it. It started getting dark and I did not want to push my luck with ice since the temps were dropping fast. I headed back home and to my surprise my lovely wife knew how to make this night even more enjoyable, she had some tunes playing in the garage and a six-pack of beer. We sat out there toasting to spring and warm weather.
Unfortunately our warm weather didn't stick around long, I sure am glad I took advantage of the situation. The extended forecast isn't looking to good so who knows how long till I get out again.
till next time,
Paul
