Todays Ride in Alabama 20 MPH + winds
« on: March 27, 2010, 07:06:36 PM »
 Mountain view, rode 150 miles today around 65 degrees in 20 plus mph winds, feels like 300 miles or more.  Country side will be turning green in about 3 weeks and we will be on are way to the 80's and 90's.  Really hard to take pictures without a co pilot, so I only snapped a few, thought I was going to get blown over by the wind.  I know it does not look like it, but Alabama has some beautiful scenery, I will get better shots of the mountains and surrounding area once the trees all bud out.  Pollen is starting to drop from all the pine trees so if I don't wash my bike daily it will turn into a Nanna colored one in a week or two.  It just felt good to get out and ride again.

If you are out in the middle of nowhere, i advise not trying to get gas at a closed down station.

They claim the noise bothers them,

More likely the answer is they are jealous.
If you ride in front of them they see that beautiful SE  all the time and will want to trade those wangs!
Great pics, we were in Al yesterday and it was very windy.
