Spring is here and we can’t wait to get outside and ride. Clubs are marking calendars for rides this summer including The Montana State Ride this June in Boulder, fun ride in April at Pipestone, club rides to Utah and throughout Montana.
Question is are you ready? Have you checked your gear, need a new helmet or boots? How’s your machine? Oil changed, lights, breaks, tires, chains, everything good? How about your battery?
Once everything’s checked, now can we ride? Have you checked your survival gear? First aid kit replaced, all your meds up to date? How about your GPS or your phone applications, are they all up dated? All these things to remember before we hit those trails, but if you don’t check your stuff you could have a very crummy first trip out.
Hope to see you all on the trail. Remember, it’s your land, make a stand.

Just returned from four days in and around Cooke City, MT. The area had had a really nice rain the day before we arrived. The weather was in the low sixties during the day and around forty degrees at night. Because of the rain we did not have dust to deal with during our rides. Six other riders joined my wife and me. We all enjoyed the rides and laughed a lot playing card games in the evenings. Considering how dry and hot it has been this summer in Montana, the four days were truly a break from the 90 degree temperatures we saw in July. Sometimes you luck out on riding conditions. Hopefully our long Labor Day Weekend will have similar riding conditions.
