Intro

So we are doing the count down to ..... leaving for Wyoming, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and the BadLands.


Sweetlu started his blog for Moding for this trip, and I was sitting here thinking that I use to Blog my trips before computers, so why not do it for this trip... do the countdown and the trip itself.... yeah, that's what I'll do.... Lou, hope I'm not cutting into your blogging.... but..... I just have to do this.... for the women of VR.... so they will feel my pain of putting up with Mike and you....together.... for 2 weeks.... 14 days.... oy vay!   G-d help me!  LOL

No really! This is a dream trip. Can't wait... only 96 more days till we leave.

There is still snow on the ground here.... Mike's and My bike are in the Garage, under sheets.... waiting for the snow to melt, the temperature to get warmer, and the chalky white roads of salt to get washed off... Then hopefully by then I will have my seat back and I will be able to get out and take my first ride of the season.   My bike has been in the garage since November..... Cold.... Covered..... waiting for spring.....
Spring is just around the corner. Bikers everywhere are waiting and counting down .... for that first ride, the ride that reminds us why we are here.... to see to feel to touch the wind...... Taking that first ride..... it takes about 20 miles or so..... sometimes we have to wait for the next ride..... the time when you let all the stresses leave your body.... the tenseness leaves your body.. your shoulders relax ... and you realize that it has gone, and you breath in that deep breath of the spring air....moist dirty smell still in the air... and some snow still on the sides of the road in the shade..... you feel the snow before you see it because the temperature drops, and you look in the shade and there it is..... melting into the ground, to bring the new growth.... so the next time you ride past here you will smell the wildflowers, and hardly remember the snow that use to be there.

So what I guess I'm trying to say, is that riding.... opens your senses........ Sight, Smell, Touch, hearing, and Taste.... (when you eat a bug, or dirt)......

So... the countdown begins..... 96 days.....
