A cold ride Southern Utah, Las Vegas

This past 10 months have been difficult.... numerous medical issues nose to tail caused me to miss nearly an entire summer of riding....and now, well I'm feeling good enough to venture out in the world. 

I was able to do a very few rides over the last year but nothing like I had plans for. So anyway, here it is November and I think it is time to brush the cobwebs off my mind and one of the bikes and stir the oil!

It will be a cold ride so the Wing gets the nod as it has much better wind protection, plus heated seat and grips. I'm riding south to St George, then Vegas, and back home again.  8 days in the southern clime.

As always, when it is a cold ride I tend to leave the camera buried. so I only have a few pics...

The ubiquitous road construction. It looked like to me that a flood had washed out the road. This was one of two  sites within a short distance that were being worked on. I would much rather wait for some construction crew to clear the road, than to try to get the Wing through the deep sand I saw on a few parts of the road.

And that's it. I made it home tired but somewhat happy... All in all it was a good trip!
I hope anyone reading this has a very nice 2024 Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and of course an Extrememly Happy New Year!!!
 
Life is good!
