Waking From a Long Winter’s Nap
This has been a tough winter. We started with two feet of snow before Christmas, and things never really got better.
Until now. Today is a sunny Saturday, and the temperature is supposed to get up around 40 degrees. Time to stop hibernating!
This morning I decided to ride into work. After disconnecting the Battery Tender and a quick check I fired up my RV250 and headed out. The sun had burned the roads clear of snow and ice (but watch out for those shady spots!) Good thing I dressed warmly!
The ride was invigorating. I hadn’t realized how much I missed being able to smell the fresh air. My full-face helmet wasn’t enough to stop my cheeks from getting rosy, and my fingers were numb inside the Thinsulate, but the all that just made my heart beat stronger. It was a great ride!
I know I won’t be able to ride every day this month, but it won’t be long until I can finally put the van away and just ride my scooter!
