The last ride again

December 28, 2024

Is it really the end of December in Montana?  It sure doesn’t feel like winter but looking ahead on the weather app it appears things might be changing.  I’ve put the bike away twice for winter and taken it back out to enjoy another ride and today it was the same.  The last time I put it away, a week or so ago, I didn’t put it in it’s usual slumber location all the way back in the garage and needed to move it a bit to fit the ‘83 Volvo 240 in there with it.  With the temperature at 50 degrees and the roads clear, why not a short ride.

I didn’t have but a few hours and I thought about a longer one but once I got up on the highway above the rimrocks, I noticed a pretty strong wind that certainly takes the fine out of it.  So, I rode the new Skyline Drive to Akali Creek Road and took that to the base of Airport Road and back to Zimmerman.  It felt great.




And parked…



The final reading of the year.

Last Ride of the Year?

December 19, 2024

I’d put the bike away for the winter twice but winter seems to be arriving late so out it came again today.  It was 59 degrees so off I went to Lavinia, then to Roundup, then back home.  128 miles.
