Day 10 - Windy Day

Short and Windy Ride

With an hour before dark, I decided to take a quick ride since it was not raining. The wind had been blowing pretty hard during the day and dried out the roads. The gusts of wind made the ride even more interesting. I was pretty successful in keeping the bike on the road. My Ultra weighs over 800 lbs. and held the road real well. The weather report was calling for gusts to 35 MPH but I think that may have been a little underestimated. The ambient temperature was a surprisingly high 47F. It felt a lot warmer with all my cold weather gear on. I didn't bother plugging in the heated gear.

Places to See

Just outside of Ridgefield is Carty Road. It's only about a mile long but has a few good curves. Along the road you will find a fairly old church building that belongs to the Bethel Methodists. Click on the picture to see the interesting architecture.


End of Day

This was a pretty short ride, but I got into some good curves and freeway riding. At least my itch to ride today was scratched! Once at home I left the garage door open while I finished putting things away. A few friends stopped by to look at the bike. Here's a picture of one of them.
