BETWEEN SNOW STORMS ??!!

With the way the weather witch has treated us this spring, riding has been at a minimum.  With the cooler weather and possible snow storm coming this weekend, I decided to forgo a round of golf on Thursday afternoon and break out the trike.  This would be my first ride since we left Florida in early March.  I took the trike since I was concerned about the soft backyard with the recent snow melt and the amount of sand that still might be on the pavements.

After I got the trike out of the back yard with no problems, I headed around the golf course and tooted the horn at the fellows I usually golf with on Thursdays.  I then stopped near the Family Chiropractic Office and snapped this photo near a large pile of snow.

A SLOW SPRING THAW

From there I continued the ride in near 60 degree temps but with the heated grips and seat turned on.  I took 76 to Forest Mills Road and then turned onto Yellow River Drive and past the Gelo ranch.  Continuing on YRD to HWY 51 south and on into Postville.  In Postville I turned left on Greene St. and picked up the Cherry Valley Road out of town.  CVR took me back to Forest Mills and a right turn headed me towards Luana.  I did not see any golfers on the Luana course.  They must be pansies!
In Luana I turned right at the milk plant and past the bank onto HWY 18 and headed east to Monona.  I turned left through Monona and onto the Volney Road.  There was plenty of sand on these roads, particularly at the intersections, so I was glad to be on the trike.  Anyone on a two wheeler before we get some good rains really needs to be cautious on these county roads!
I continued on the Volney Road all the way to Rossville and back to HWY 76 where I turned right and headed south to the Waterville turn.  I cruised through Waterville, but did not see the highway patrolman that apparently is stationed there.  I went past the Waterville school building that now apparently belongs to the city (Good luck there!) and on to the Elon Road.  I took it back west into town and then continued on home, through the back yard and back into the shed.  I put a little over 80 miles on the Wing trike.  It felt good to get back in the saddle again!
The way the weather sounds, it doesn't look too good for next Wednesday.  Let's hope the witch gets it out of her system by the time we are scheduled for the Camp Courageous run.
