Riding Season Is Here: Spring Riding Tips for Newbies and Veterans Alike
Well, well, well... Our northern weather is finally showing signs of warming and I'm getting damn anxious for that first ride. Down south, I hear the days are already warming up and T-shirt weather is heading your way. The winter has been long and hard, but we've survived another one. Whether you're a veteran rider like myself or a newbie just starting out, there are a few things you should keep in mind as you begin the riding season.

Blew outta the house bright and early Thursday morning and headed toward the windy city, thru downtown without a problem which is a bit out of the ordinary for Chicago. On up into cheese country where we ran smack dab into a snow storm, no big deal for a Michigan Native truck driver... got our room, supper, and a beer.
Friday was spent roaming the city just sightseeing, Milwaukee has mad respect for their Veterans. Salute to you Milwaukee, VA hospital and services directly across the street from our room. We took a self-guided tour thru the “Soldiers Home” and grounds where over 300,000 grave markers dating back to the Civil War are considered
