What bike did you ride today?

-
Wow! @Miq glad you are OK!!!
Great that buddies were there to Witness;
and give the assistance to get you back in the saddle.
Get a new helmet as your Reward!
Pick out a Good one, make it yours.
My friend "Fearless" loves to ride;
helmet sticker, "put me back on my bike, I'll Be Fine."
Watch for "Road Hazards"😘

Guy had commented my Mead had alot of hard miles. When he left I told Luke “ and he thought my bike was the piece of trash”.9AC733BB-703E-4615-BFF1-50E7B92177D3.jpeg

I picked up this 40-41 BFG DX last week , been cleaning it up and put some new tires on it this morning. At last minute I decided it was bike I was riding today. Was supposed to be cold and clear today, by time I got to trail the ground was white with snow! This wouldn’t be my choice of bike for these conditions.

D4FDB2BD-BADD-4083-822C-EB108C4A38A5.jpegText my wife telling her I probably wouldn’t be riding that far, but old DX just chugged through it. I love snow and riding in it so I just kept riding….

Much better, no slipping and now I could stand and pedal. Towards end of my ride took this pic of 3 Eagles in one tree right on the river

Last day of the first month, 2023,
16 mile work loop today, tallies 810 miles total this month.
Too much rain made it tough to get out there.
Happy with it for "all the other things", especially.
