I am planning on taking some time to go riding this weekend. Saturday will work but I have nothing planned but working on the shop. I have not been to Crossbar yet? I will keep monitoring the posts.

Plans are in the air for me at this point. If anyone is still heading to Crossbar that may be on the agenda. Or Muenster as a default. Hoping to make a road trip to Colorado to pick up a new bike though. Anyone up for a road trip? I hear the riding in Colorado is pretty nice...

I am on standby. Either place will work for me. I am always happy at Munster but always up for something different. Did I see rain in the forcast for this weekend?
I'll be riding with 2 of my sons and a couple of other guys at Barnwell Saturday. I got my 1986 XR100 back together and it runs great! My youngest, Joseph, will be riding that. I love that little bike. I'm going to keep it around for the grandkids (when I have some someday...) when my sons outgrow it.

Chance of snow on Saturday with a high of 39 deg. I am having second thoughts. I may go tomorrow to Munster.

I never left home this weekend. My family rescheduled my weekend and with the weather being cold, I did what I had to. Maybe next weekend. I miss chasing the smack pack.
Proxy: it's funny. I didn't ride that many miles, but I was exhausted when I got home. I didn't even want to unload the trailer, let alone wash the bikes. Maybe the cold weather took more out of me than I thought. Or maybe I'm in terrible shape. I prefer to blame the weather.

Sounds like I missed a good time. I was out in the shop all day and it warmed up a little as the day progressed. At one point I was wishing I went. I wussed out but got a lot done.
JIM, IT WAS THE WEATHER! IT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME.

Barnwell was nice. Farther east, it was warmer than the metroplex. My son Benjamin and I rode with a guy I work with (Mike), and his father-in-law (Jim). Had a nice time taking them around Barnwell.
Benjamin and I stayed true to our habit of trying to climb hills we probably shouldn't! One steep rocky hill had some big rock steps right at the top. It took the two of us to get his light bike (XR200) up to the top. After doing that, I looked down at my XR650 laying on its side down the hill below us and thought "what was I thinking bringing the BEAST up here?" I turned it around and made it down the hill with only a broken handguard and bruised ankle. :-) Thank goodness for boots...
I need to do a better job of applying some fatherly wisdom before we take insane hills. :-)
