3/10/23 - 1st Motorcycle Ride of 2023
Today (3/10/2023), I went for a ride on my motorcycle. I believe it was for the first time this year. The forecast was clear and sunny with the temperature in the 50's. So, I went out in the Jeep to Mac Nation, and then I scouted the roads for snow, but the roads were pretty clear.
So, I came back put on a ridiculous amount of gear, got on the Africa Twin, and went for my lfirst ride of 2023. My ride was something like this. I think that 52F was the coldest it got. Temperature hovered between 54F and 52F.
During the ride, my cell phone died because it wasn't charging. This is an issue because I use the iPhone to navigate. I run Waze on it, and it gives me directions, shows me where traffic is, etc. But 285 southbound out of Morrison was a nightmare of traffic, and my iphone died because the cable won't charge it, so now I've got to fix this nightmare.
I'm not sure what's with the iPhone 6S, but some cables will charge it, and some cables won't. So, I rode down the hill to Walmart in the Jeep and bought 2 new cables for the iPhone 6S. Come back, open up a new one, plug it in, and it won't charge the iPhone 6S. Not sure what's going on.
But I was glad to get in my ride today. I believe that this is the first ride of the year because we got a lot of snow in December, and it just never melted. I still have about 5 inches of snow in my front yard, but my driveway is clear (finally). Mark had come over at least once and used his snow blower to clear my driveway, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's safe to ride the motorcycle. Finally, over the last few days, the driveway melted so that it was safe to ride the Africa Twin to the top of the driveway.
Technically, it's still winter. But It looks like the first day of Spring is 10 days from today, on March 20, 2023.
