dirt dame 648 Posted January 15 (edited) I hadn't been out for a few weeks (other than to go fishing) and wanted to get one last ride in for the year. For somebody who used to ride 2 or 3 time a week, but can't do that anymore because of the rugged climate and also having to work full time, this ride meant a lot to me. I managed to get 16 rides in this last year, and that was a few more than the year before. I'd like to get a few more rides than 16 in for 2026, so hopefully there will be some mild weather in the next few months, although we really need some decent snowpack this winter. Anyway, the weather looked as though it might be dicey on Christmas day, so I was still lounging around in my tiny apartment at 11 a.m.. But the sun was still out and the temperature was above 40 degrees, so on a whim I threw on some riding duds, (including some brand new boots that I got myself for Christmas) and headed over to the storage shed to pick up Mr. 501, who was sporting a new set of sprockets and drive chain. Then I drove about 20 miles out of town and unloaded the bike. I didn't have more than about two hours to ride, as I was supposed to join friends for a nice prime rib supper, later in the afternoon. I had the whole countryside to myself and rode about 40 miles of two track, getting back to the staging area just before the weather broke. It was the best Christmas that I have had in Wyoming, so far. Edited January 15 by dirt dame 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
