I NEEDED THAT!!

To make things perfectly clear, I am doing my best to obey the mandates that have been in place for the Covid 19.  However, I am tired of being "cooped up"along with the lousy weather.  So today with the temps in the 50's and supposed sunshine, I got the trike out of her brief hibernation.  I did put on a little over 75 enjoyable miles by going north on 76, turning on Bear Creek Dr., going down Locust Drive into Decorah and down the main street there.  I counted only 7 parked cars on that whole stretch of street!  I then took HWY 9 back east to Old Stage and went through Fishville and down to Yellow River Drive.  Turning east I went past the Gelo estate and onto Forest Mills Drive, then to 76 and back home.  It felt really good to be out of the house and breathing fresh air.  The only stop I made was for gas and I didn't breathe on anyone, and no one breathed on me!  Hopefully the virus can't exceed 55 mph.  

A bit of warning--there is a lot of sand on the roads out there, particularly at intersections.  They must have put a whole dump truck full on the intersection of Forest Mills and Yellow River Dr.  I was fine on the trike, but I'm not so sure how safe it would have been on the two-wheeler, so if you plan on getting out the two-wheeler watch for sand!

With a lot of time on my hands, I have been perusing the WNR ride schedule for this year.  While I was doing that, Dennis & Marlene sent me the following link.  This is a place I'm considering to add to the ride schedule.  It's a ways away, and would probably involve most of a day, but it sure looks like an interesting place to visit

Right now I can't say things are looking too good for our rescheduled PMS meeting on the 8th.  I'll try to keep you posted on that.  In the meantime stay safe and healthy.

Here's a couple of interesting signs that Dennis & Marlene forwarded to me.
