Dig a path through the snow from the basement, up the hill to the driveway, check.
Driveway still covered with packed snow, check.
Not a ray of sunshine to be seen, like the last three weeks, check.
So much rain a few days before that the salt was washed off the road, check.
The roads are more or less dry, check.
25 MPH winds gusting to 45 MPH, check.
The temperature is in the high 50s to low 60s, check.
An absolutely good, fine, great, PERFECT afternoon for a ride.
I took a 75 mile, more or less, ride down the highways and byways south Medina and North Wayne counties.
The scooter fired up as if it hadn't been over six weeks since the last ride and ran perfect.
The roads were dry and smooth and the traffic was light.
The sight of the damp trees against the snow covered ground was stark and beautiful and they were in their winter glory.
Not a hint of the colors of the promise of spring.
I took the Interstate home and insanity took over. I was going 90mumble mumble before I knew it.
12600 miles on this beast and I still have problems holding it down.
It was a great ride. Now to wait for the January thaw that may or may not come. It is snow squeaking cold outside now.
