Actually, when I wear traditional blue jeans, I wear them over whatever boots I choose to wear that day.  If I want to wear boots outside my clothing, then I choose a pair of breeches, such as what motorcops wear, and pull on tall cop boots over them.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday&#8217;s ride on Maryland&#8217;s backroads and byways was organized for some of us who just wanted to get out for a little bit, orient new riders to the process of safe group riding, and have some fun.   The weather was pleasant (and thank goodness the clouds didn&#8217;t tinkle through the ride, though it was sprinkling at dawn).
