First Post of 2014

After a long and grueling cold winter here, I finally got to ride Pig last Sunday.  It was an unseasonable 71 degrees at the time.  Sadly, the only place I got to ride him was too work, but hell, beggars can't be choosers.

Today my lucky stars aligned with the temperature and work schedule and I was able to ride my Pig to work again.  Living close to work has benefits, one is that its a very short three mile ride on cool mornings.  It was 35 degrees at top of my hill, but as I dropped into Gordon Dr. valley the temp dropped too, down to 27 degrees.  I didn't notice much, just happy to be out with Pig.

By lunch break it was in the fifties and I grabbed a sandwich and soda rode out to Stone State Park on the north edge of Sioux City.  When I got there I found the park was still closed for the winter (to vehicles anyways), so I had a nice ride back to the office where I ate my sandwich.  Maybe after work I'll stop somewhere and get a picture of Pig with a cactus (photo tag).
