Here we are on the first official day of Carnival Break, and the temperatures have risen from 27F at around 7:00 this morning to a sunny 36.5F at almost 10:00. Kevin's saying we should be at 42F by 1:00 this afternoon, so we'll go out for a little ride and then go gas up.
The longest I've ridden so far is about 45 miles in one day, and that was over a couple of hours on winding back roads. Now that I've finished breaking in the bike - she's up to 927 miles now and had the first servicing - we can hit the highway. I'm longing for a few straight roads at a speed of over 50 mph, and today will be the day for it!
We've been talking about riding to Cochem, Germany and spending the night, but when I looked at the map last night I noticed it's only 107 miles. I think we can go and return home in one day.
Today I'm trying out my CARA Designs helmet earrings for the first time. Denise Atkinson has been kind enough to make up a trial design to see if the helmet goes on and off without ripping off my earlobes or pushing earring posts into my head. When I slid the helmet on this morning, I couldn't even tell I had earrings on. Same thing when I removed the helmet. We've got a winner here! Well done, Denise! I love these earrings. It's pretty handy, too, to be able to change out the purple Swarovski crystals for other colors or the pearls!
