Rode with 4 friends to Roanoke for the Toys for Tots ride. 24 deg when I left the house. Saw a low of 21 on the way. 1300 bikes on 1 hour police guided ride thru Salem, Roanoke, Vinton, and back to Salem. 380 miles by the time I got home.
Interestingly, all 4 of us are (old) vets. 57, 57, 63, and 64. 2 young guys both Navy, 1 former Seal (Vietnam and "maybe other places"), 1 retired Army SSGT (Vietnam and Desert Storm). The SSGT rides a Tri-Glide due to Agent Orange issues. His first "bike". Been riding 3 years, has 60K plus on the trike. Rode to CA, then SW (different trip). He's leaving on Wednesday for Maine (!) to escort the truck with the wreaths for Wreaths Across America. Good Times and Great Guys. I am honored to call them friends.
