As you can see I changed my profile picture which shows that I have lost so much weight. The new one was taken of me on the 4th of July this year at the annual family party in Minnesota.

I rode my bike up to it and it is a 770 mile round trip which was a ride I truly enjoyed. One nice thing is that my bike gets 52 miles per gallon which saves a lot of money buying gas versus driving my car up and back.

Coming To Spring

As we get into March and it is Spring I am getting happy since I love when the days get longer. I also have been riding my BMW (which I'll refer to as the Beemer) quite a bit and since my last post I have hit the 33,000 mile mark. I stay comfortable (since it's been wintery lower than normal temperatures 20's and low 30's) by wearing my Bilt rain pants which block the wind and have a nice insulating liner which keeps me warm. I also wear a soft vest over my sweatshirt and cover it with a wind breaker and also a light weight jacket on top and my BMW armored riding jacket over the top of all that. I also wear my SIDI waterproof riding boots which are super high quality. It all keeps me warm.

When I ride I always go out on the back-roads to enjoy the wonderful sights I always see. I love doing that and also enjoy the lovely curves those roads have which makes the ride very fun vs. riding miles and miles in a straight line all the time.

When it warms up I have a few rides planned where I'll take some pictures and once I do that I'll post them. See you all later!
