It is 90 degrees now, but earlier when it was cooler, I went for a nice relaxing ride. I rode to a little town north of Lubbock, called New Deal. Then I turned east onto a country hiway I had never rode or driven on before. It was a two-laner with hardly any traffic but some long curves and a few 'roller-coaster' humps. I had no destination in mind, I just rode for the fun of it. If I got lost in the boonies, 'so what?' I knew the general direction to home, and that I would eventually run into a main hiway. It was my most enjoyable ride yet, and I feel that I finally 'bonded' with my bike; now I trust her to get me home no matter where I go. This ride has boosted my confidence in my own riding skills.

Tomorrow it is only going to get into the 80's and I am going to do it again on a different road.
