We in the far north have something you year 'round riders will never know

[therapist]

The exhilaration we feel when we take the first ride of the season.  A release of pent up frustration and stress that gives you a tingle from head to toe.  In that first mile, once I settle in, I always seem to involuntarily take in a huge breath of fresh air and let it out in a huge sigh, like purging myself of all the inner demons that have made themselves at home all winter.

I get that feeling everytime I get on the Valk...whether it's been one hour or one week!

Here's to being glad I DON'T have to feel that feeling!

One more thing I won't know: Snow!

Well, enjoy your first ride of the season. I was thinking this morning that I was done with the Gerbings for the year. 

I did use them last weekend for a 7:30 am ride to Chattanooga. It was in the 40's so I figured why not use em.  My hands were nice and toasty warm. 

It was HOT! today riding, close to 90 I think.
