Considering that this time last year here in south eastern Montana we were seeing -20F overnight temps, the 59 degrees today was just another opportunity to ride the motorcycle.
Our running club had its annual “Froze Nose” 5K biathlon today and there were no frozen noses. I rode the FJR out to the race, donned my running gear, and did the 5K in 28:50. Not bad considering I’ll be 70 in 3 months. It’s a biathlon because we finish at a bowling alley and then bowl a game, a game where I am the king of the gutter ball. You get to take one second off your run time for every pin you knock down. My bowling score of 73 did not move me into the winner circle.
After that event I rode the motorcycle out to Pompey’s Pillar and then did the 10-mile or so out and back on Fly Creek Road that has some nice twisties. The road turns to gravel as it crosses into Big Horn county which is where I turn around.
I took the interstate back to Billings. The roads were vacant as I came back into the city. Someone said there is a football game today that may be keeping people inside. Football vs. motorcycle ride? No contest there for me. 87 miles today.
