The weather was nice and warm, but not overly so. Probably about 80 degrees at the most. Cloudless day, light traffic...almost none on the trails. Very dry year. Can't wait for some rain.
I consider the FE to be a rather drab looking bike, so I like to spice up my wardrobe to add some sparkle to the bike.
I couldn't resist the neon boots that were on sale. 197 bucks, free shipping. They couldn't find a pair in my size in the U.S. or European warehouses...so they air shipped the last pair in their Australian warehouse to me. The shipping must have cost as much as the boots, but I had them in 5 days. That is truly great customer service from Forma/Frontier.
DD, you are definitely the best looking item(?) standing there behind your bike. ESP with your hair all out and flowing! I hear ya on that cost and shipping and those Forma brand boots; I've got 2 pairs of them and both have lasted well past their time but they just will not fall totally apart; Just get the sole sewn back on from time to time and keep riding. I wear they when I know that I'm gonna get wet & muddy, saving my 1 good pair for drier riding; It does seem to me, that water is the downfall of the boots I wear here, so I try to keep 1 pair out of the nasty days of riding...
