I ride to work pretty much every day. The only time I won't is when it's pouring outside.

I told my boss this afternoon that I neglected to tell him about an important appointment. I did not tell him that the appointment was to ride. It was a bit tricky getting through the mud but I was pretty determined. While riding I was a bit paranoid that maybe I had forgotten to tighten something with all my recent mods.

YEAH BABY!!

They have actually been pretty good with service issues too. So I would have to say, so far, they are a decent place to buy a bike. We'll see how they do on my electrical and power mods over the next month.

Saw another bike on 610 next to me going towards i-10 this morning. Saw about 4 bikes yesterday on the ride home. People are out there riding a lot now..

Oh yeah, took the bike everyday to work for the last 4 months. Houston can be hot sometimes, but at least I can ride in the winter.

It is supposed to rain or be windy most of this week! Not a good forecast in my opinion!

i've been riding every day that i did not need the trunk space of my car (about a week and a half).

i would not have ridden to work on wednesday if i knew that it was going to be so windy/gusty on thursday and friday. 30mph steady cross wind with gusts to 50+ and 100 miles from home... i did not have trouble staying in my lane. i cant say the same for everyone, or anyone, else.

Bad weather no riding. The rest of the week promises different.
