Oh, to be on the road again...

Although the weather has been cool in Chicago, I still manage to get out there on my motorbike most weekends. My Gerbing's heated jacket liner helps a lot, so does my UnWind thermal long underwear. I just purchased an UnWind thermal top and I should get a chance this week to try it out. My next purchase, in anticipation of fall, will be Gerbing's heated liner pants. I just hope they are long enough for my 34 inch inseam! It looks like they only come in men's sizes. Okay, so I hope there is room for my butt too! I think I can try them on at the closest Gerbing's dealer, Motoworks in Chicago.

On Saturday, May 10, 2008, after a nice breakfast in Elmhurst, IL, I headed out past Rockford, IL to the Rock River with my friends, Sandra, Ingrid, and Christy. Christy did a great job leading us on routes along the river and into Sterling, IL for a healthy lunch at the Organic Bite Deli & Cafe. You can see from our picture that we left satisfied. After racing after Christy for a bit, we felt we had earned a stop at DQ before heading home. We had a full day, leaving home at 7:30 am and returning at 7:30 pm - very tired.

Racing after Christy? At the Blitz to Branson a guy named 'Nose' blew up his R100GS Bumble Bee on the twisty roads around Branson because of her.

Ha, you bike is still in one piece.

Denise, it is nice to find you here. I learned of your presence from a friend, Crusty the Biker, who wrote about your site on his blog. It sounded like you and sure enough, here you are.

I too am in Chicago. We've met a couple of times; last time in West Bend, where you introduced me to Sandra.

BTW, I own one your great green tee shirts, which I really like.

I will link you to my blog so that others can find you.

Best,
Sharon

Sharon,

Yes, of course. I remember you well. Thank you. I will link to your blog as well (as soon as I figure how!). I think I found your blog by googling. Thanks for saying hello!
