Thing I Haven't Done in a While 3
A real motorcycle ride, after what I believe is a ~2 year (?!) hiatus. This is very exciting, and more than just a little scary.
I'm totally looking forward to all of it. I'll be back on the ice, playing with friends, trying to be a wall, and riding with Bluepoof ... and her shiny new bike.

That is a nice looking BlueBike.
Colorado has been stellar for bike riding except for the 60 mph wind gusts. That is when a cruiser is SO much nicer than a rocket (lower side-wind profile because it is shorter).
Wear your GEAR!! Ride safe!

Wind gusts, yuck!
Gear, absolutely. I've even considered wearing it on my bicycle. ;)

My favorite wind gust story:
So we're riding along the Parks Highway, in between Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaksa, just coming into Denali National Park. It's windy.
By which I mean Windy. The sort where the bike is permanently tilted to a 60-degree angle and the gusts come out of nowhere to blow you into oncoming traffic. The parks department has helpfully placed "caution: wind" signs around, just in case we hadn't noticed.
Anyway, we're going over a bridge, still at our 60-degree angle, and on the far side is a wind sock. Not surprisingly, it's pointing straight out.
Only something's wrong.
It's pointing straight out in the OTHER DIRECTION.
Halfway across this metal bridge is a wind tunnel that snaps the bike instantly from 60-degrees to the left to 60-degrees to the right.
Weirdest damn feeling ever. Oops, this is teh intarwebz. EVAR.
