By noontime, it was 55\u00b0F (13\u00b0C), which was a bit cool, but with thick leather pants, a leather shirt and leather jacket, thick gloves, and tall Wesco boots, I felt fine.<\/p>\n<p>I went on this ride with a buddy who knows the back roads of our home county exceptionally well, and is a very skilled rider.  We rode and rode and rode &#8230; to everywhere, and to nowhere.  My friend took a turn on what he thought would be an interesting road&#8230; until it dead-ended at a farm with sheep and cows.  We about died laughing.<\/p>\n<p>It was great to get out, have some practice honing my riding skills which had become rusty after a long winter without much riding.  I enjoyed riding with my friend who is such a great guy to ride with.  He rides very safely, has a great sense of humor, and is a very nice person.<\/p>\n<p>Pics follow.  Enjoy!  Riding season has begun!<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-tXPy1QVcUHE\/TZjn-xyFAjI\/AAAAAAAAC2w\/iAnhQwrmDXI\/s1600\/Johnride01.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-tXPy1QVcUHE\/TZjn-xyFAjI\/AAAAAAAAC2w\/iAnhQwrmDXI\/s400\/Johnride01.jpg?resize=400%2C212\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-HTR0sSSMdD8\/TZjoBf-8URI\/AAAAAAAAC20\/1fVLNsInfNU\/s1600\/Johnride02.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-HTR0sSSMdD8\/TZjoBf-8URI\/AAAAAAAAC20\/1fVLNsInfNU\/s400\/Johnride02.jpg?resize=400%2C372\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-vDiQvOvtxI8\/TZjoCk3v9tI\/AAAAAAAAC24\/W2KAL0v36rE\/s1600\/Johnride03.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-vDiQvOvtxI8\/TZjoCk3v9tI\/AAAAAAAAC24\/W2KAL0v36rE\/s400\/Johnride03.jpg?resize=400%2C252\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a very productive weekend doing some activities for my senior pals, then working on our home with my partner.
