I had some chores to get out of the way but by early afternoon I was thinking about a ride. It was in the mid-50s and there was no wind. With the number of riding days rapidly dwindling, I had to get the bike out.
I usually don't ride in town but needed to pick up some pencils for a drawing I'm working on so I stopped by the art supply shop and took care of that. Then I was undecided as to where to ride so I headed south on 15th and since I wanted to avoid King and 24th, I headed to South Billings Blvd. and out of town.
It's been a while since I've done this route and it was a near perfect day to ride it. I headed south on South Billings Blvd. and continued on to Pryor Road. I turned left and followed that to Hwy 87. This is pretty much wide open country. The speed limit was 50 MPH and I set my cruise control at that but was passed by several who didn't like that speed.
When I arrived at Hwy 87 I stopped for a few photos.
From there I headed to Lockwood through some nice twisty curves. I went through the edge of downtown Billings, stopped to top up the tank, and arrived home without incident.
Here'some video from today's ride.
It was about a 50 mile day.
