I was getting cabin fever and had to get out and ride today. I called a few people to see if anyone had an interest in joining me. Everyone did but no one could get away. That is too bad because it was a beautiful day!!
I left my office around noon and was on my bike by 12:30. I rolled south around Hillsdale Lake and then towards Centerville, KS and a little cabin I am having work done. As soon as I got out of the city I was on gravel. The further South I went the warmer it got. Around Centerville it was 75 degrees! I checked on the cabin and headed back home. Most of the roads were fine but there were some slick, muddy spots that caused me to pucker a little because my pig wanted to lay down in black stuff. I'm glad to say I make it home without any incident.
I got home around 6:00 and the temperature had dropped to 50 degrees. The total trip was 180 miles.
I enjoyed my day but riding with another would have made it more fun.
Here are a few pictures if anyone is interested: http://picasaweb.google.com/ajayhawkfan ... alkerPlace (Mike and Troy, it does not look the same does it?)
I can't wait until spring!
I am able to play hooky from time to time. If anyone is interested in joining me in the future please drop me a message.
I played Hooky this afternoon!

The school is not used for anything but as you can tall the owner does not want it falling in so keeps a good roof on it.Hayden wrote:SWEET cabin and NICE view. You lucky dog.

I hope in the spring to have an overnight ride to the cabin-limited bed space but unlimited camping.

Wow! The cabin has more than doubled! Love the upper balcony, too. What a great spot on the river bend you have there.ajayhawkfan wrote:(Mike and Troy, it does not look the same does it?)
I left work early (3:30) to put some miles on the TE450. Just as I rolled out the driveway, the sun went away and the temperature plunged. I froze! I was colder than I've been in a long time....I was not dressed for it.
Re: I played Hooky this afternoon!
Very nice. And it certainly has increased in size. That old bridge (private property) is one that Troy and I went by on our way down to your place last fall. Tempting, but we resisted.troy wrote:Wow!
