Another day to ride in Chitown -very gray by the Lake this morning - one of those times when it is hard to tell where the sky ends and the water begins. Kind of somber. While the sun has come out later in the day, it was kind of dulling riding on LSD this morning. Hope it isn't a sign of things to come. Don't need a downer.

Another Day
Riding today is an experience - the temp is up there around 90 and the wind is 25 to 35 with gusts up to 50 mph. I always wear full gear to the temp is a little bit of a problem - the vents don't help much at this temp. The wind will be interesting riding home tonight - probably will be less affected than the big SUVs.
Starting to think about my trip down to Arkansas Ozarks and getting my saddle bags and sissy bar bag out - leaving on 6/23 & returning on 6/30. Will meet my son, do a little riding, camping, and canoeing. This will be like nirvana.
I have been riding for about 15 years and there is nothing like heading out on the highway. Such a high. At the beginning and end of the trips I am by myself and then with my son. Without a definite schedule, we can do what we want when we want. The weather has never been much of a problem, although I have invested in much better rain gear than I started out with - very important.
Happy trails to you, and hope you get a lot of whatever gives you a natural high.

Riding
My bike was in the shop again just after I had it tuned up - very frustrating. Was riding to work on a clear Thursday morning and it just quit running - turned out to be an electrical problem and it was in for two weeks - "waiting for parts"
So I rode today and it was great. A light sprinkle of rain but nothing to worry about. Just out there on a cool morning enjoy the freedom and fresh air, the beautiful lake and being alive.
In two weeks and a few days I leave for a week long trip to the Ozarks of Arkansas. Meet my son there - do some camping, riding, canoeing - just have some fun and relaxation. Can't wait.
You know about anticipation, don't you?
Take care.
