BAM!
First commute of 2020-first commute to this location-not the first ride of the year. 40° with 78% humidity but dry. High 50's predicted for the ride home.
New job has ample room for me to hang my gear ('kit' if you aren't in the Colonies).

Practiced my Social Distancing. Blasted the TW around the back 5 track. Ground condition was perfect. Just the right amount of moisture, a little damp but had perfect traction. I pulled the KLX out after that and threw dirt everywhere and drifted most of the turns.    Man was that fun.  8)  I could get used to this working from home shit.  ;D

Need to bring the KLX up next time.  :)  If we get proper internet, you could work from a somewhat more mobile home for a couple days.   ;D

Think I'll don some long pants, knee pads (I don't have elbow or wrist pads), gloves and helmet. Then take out the e-bicycle for a bit of a slower "journey".

I did! 32°-38°, heated gear and sunny skies. Got my first impression of the new jacket. So far I like it. Nothing really annoying, workad as anticipated. Upgraded chest and back armor didn't impair anything, almost unnoticeable.

I managed a 1.5 hour ride this afternoon. Cool and gray but not bad. If PA goes on lockdown mode then that might have been the last ride for a couple weeks.

Pulled the Triumph out and did a quick twenty to go get a wyldkat photo tag. Just about got stuck in town. The bike wouldn't start after i took the pic. luckily had enough juice left to bump start it. Like who am I going to ask for a jump start these day's.  :facepalm:  Back in the barn on the tender now.

I got out for 3+ hours today.  A bit windy for most of it, but close to 60 so pretty decent.

I took the 530 for an afternoon of dirty fun. 70 miles of back roads to get to/from and about 100 miles of mostly dirt roads once I got there.

I did! Well I was on the back. First time since last September. It was glorious.
