Hey, glad you got a nice ride in.orag: How many miles do you have do you have on that beautiful trike of yours?
Only 34K. I need to ride more.![]()
Rode yesterday. After several rainy or windy days it was clear and sunny, in the low 50s when I left for a lunch ride and in the low 60s when I rode home. Good ride but I was a little nervous because a few days ago while riding this route I clipped a deer. I was doing about 60 MPH when she came running up out of a ditch and straight across the road in front of me. I hit the brakes and locked up the front wheel. Just before I would have hit her straight on she leaped in the air in an attempt to jump over me and I only clipped her back legs with the top edge of the windshield, the right hand mirror and my right arm. The windshield only had a small mark on the edge and the mirror didn't even break but was just loose. My arm had a small bruise on it but that was it! After checking the bike I went back and looked but the deer was gone so hopefully she was OK.
Fortunately I was only 5 miles from home so I was able to go home and change my pants! After 400,000 plus miles of riding this was the first time I ever hit a deer. Had a few close calls but never hit one. Sure has made me more alert! Someone was watching over me!

In St. Louis on Sunday forecast is 63, I intend to cut a few corners.
Glad your getting out Harrison.
I was thinking the same thing, but I'm supposed to go to my sons house early afternoon.
I may go for a short ride around noon.....I need to test my stamina, so a 1 hour ride would be perfect.
Enjoy your ride, hope I cross your path.
Thanks, I thinking I will just ride down Page Avenue extension & turn around and come back.
I'm feeling pretty good, but just want to see how I feel after that.
I have a SB watch party to go to after that, so hopefully I won't wear myself out.![]()
Well, I did not get a ride in, I just wasn't feeling it. It's a shame as we set a record with a 70° day.
Rain Tuesday & light snow Wednesday.
I'll be on the road soon enough.![]()
Here in STL, we are in the grip of some nasty winter weather, with drizzle, freezing rain (off & on), cloudy skies & cold temps.
I hope everyone else is fairing better, weather wise.![]()
