Been riding to work almost every day this week. I drove one day because we weren't supposed to park the cars on the street for a special trash pick up in the city. I was going to ride and just pull the car out, then the moto, and then put the car back, but that seemed like a waste of time. No big deal to drive that day. The weather should get up to 80 next week. I'm psyched! Of course I have to drive that particular day. Oh well.

I've been enjoying the solitude of riding. Going to work and on the drive home. It's the only alone time I have. I like it. Wish I had more. I wish I had more riding alone time to share with my hubby too. He doesn't get to ride as much as I do. Maybe we should actually plan a trip or something.

The bike was a bit cranky getting it started on Monday. I guess it had been sitting a while and the gas tank wasn't full either. (I didn't fill it today either and I am on reserve.) After the second day of riding it seemed to be back to normal. Although, today it did seem to have less power. That could have been the wind though. It was pretty fierce on the ride home. I'm glad I didn't take highway 93! I had to pull over anyway to put my liner on. There is a front coming in tonight. The high tomorrow is only supposed to be in the 50s.

I think I'll wash my jacket and pants tonight since I won't be riding this weekend. That's a good idea. :-)
