Was a nice one, a bit more than an hour.
Headed north to the Annsville Circle which just past Fort Smith is the goat trail to the Bear Mtn bridge
There was an accident right away that had just happened and I observed a Dodge charger without a front wheel that had spun out in the bottom part of the trail.
The road was a bit slick in spots and waterfalls on my right crossed the road in a few areas I obeyed the speed limit which was 40.
At the bridge I headed north, still on the east side of the Hudson to Garrison where I had a nice view of West Point, then east thru the cut in the ridge to 9 again then south toward home.
Saw one other bike riding north and we waved to each other. Speed limits were only observed in that I did not venture below them the last 10 miles

Man, my hands were cold. It is getting time to hook up those electric gloves as the temp drops below 40
Hopefully I get my bmw back with the new abs unit as that bike has heated grips,
All in all a spirited start to the year.
May all your rides be dry and fun this year
