1000 Miles!

[msjorje]

One of my instructors from the Motorcycle Safety Course found me on MySpace and contacted me. That was cool. I plan to ride out to the course sometime and say hello.

Yesterday I finally made the Haskell route. I picked up Hwy 51 at county line and took it out to Hwy 72 South to Haskell. From there, I took Hwy 64 through Leonard and Bixby to Riverside Drive. I zig-zagged through downtown and took 244 to 169 back home. The route took longer than I thought it would, but it was so wonderful! As I pulled into the parking lot at home, my odometer rolled over 1000 since I started keeping track of my personal miles. I did ride some miles before those that were practice, but officially 1000 miles now. I was so excited to see it and surprised to cut it so close as I got home. I'm looking forward to Million Mile Monday!

I think I only rode about 80 or so miles yesterday. It was a perfect day for it. I had a farmer's tan from a previous day of riding, so I slapped some sunblock on just the tanned part and went. I don't guess I realized how long I'd be out, because now I have reverse farmer's burn! Sheesh. I'll just have to go whole-hog on the sun block the rest of the summer I guess... and hope my lines even out.

Or, wear a jacket, which would be safer both as far as preventing sunburn and injury. :-)

I miss my chopper sometimes, but then I think about the sunburn, and the kidneys and the back pain, and I get over it pretty quick. lol

Good to see you post.

That cracks me up about your tan:)

My Hubby is getting a bike from my mom to ride until he can sell it. He is so excited, he's like a little boy with a new toy:)

Sounds like you're enjoying yours. I wish I had one, we could go on a ride:(

ok, so i'm being the overprotective friend here but be careful out there. so many crazy asses on the road don't respect cycles. (of the bi- or motor- type)

*love*

i am glad to see your face on my FL again. :)
