As New Years day approaches I end my first full month of what we in
Wisconsin consider winter. Apart from one week the weather has been
delightfully mild, and I am looking forward to a weekend of riding with
friends.

This is the first year my fiancee will be able to ride her own bike in
the Mil Vin Moto groups annual ride, so we got her bike out of storage
so she can rack up some miles before hand. That means the Beemer has to
go back outside, but I got it a nice new tarp.
