Just Passed 1300 Miles

A month ago, November 19th, I wrote that I had passed the 500 mile mark. Well this weekend I rode past 1,300 miles. Boy, what a difference the 800 miles in the saddle have meant. My control of the bike has improved dramatically and using the controls is becoming second nature.

While I still find high-speed (60 mph is still high speed for me) riding on the L.A. freeways a bit intimidating I have managed rides for 20 miles or more. I have also been up into the local mountain roads and my riding in the curves has also improved. I really enjoy these mountain rides.

I am still a newbie and have alot of practice and improvement ahead of me but I really feel I have made some big strides. My next goal is to get on the bike and make a longer trip......say 100 miles or so.

Thanks for all the encouragement. Reading all of your advice and experiences has been great!

Hope to see you on the road.
