The Mild Bunch Day Ride

Click on the link below for some pics of our ride of Aug. 29, 2013.
It was hot and somewhat windy and it was the first longish ride my 550 has been on this year.
Indy ran like a champ and with all the wind she drank gas like.......well.......like I've been known to drink beer on a hot day...
....but NOT when I'm riding.
The beer had to wait until I got home.....but it was all the better for the wait.
We made a big circle today, starting off heading to the southeast of Calgary, stopping for lunch and then heading due west to check out a shop that had recently moved from Calgary into a small town to the southwest of the city. We then headed north back to the city to finish off the ride. About an hour and a half after I got home, we had a sudden thunderstorm/downpour, so I was glad I'd taken the shortcut to get home. I hate getting ANY bike wet/dirty after working for most of yesterday to get
her all cleaned up for today's ride.
Enjoy.
