I have just over 300 miles on the 900 already. but its been in iddy bitty Pieces

I have run a few of th eloop rides around here solo, which is nice, but its more fun with at least another rider.

There is one short loop (80 miles) that runs from Albion, north past Colfax, over past Steptoe butte park, East to Oaksdale,( great little place to eat there by the way), south through Garfield, Palouse and then back to Albion.

Another loop around here, is South out of Albion to Pullman, West to the Snake river, and then follow the river up to Lewiston/Clarkston, and take 195 back past Pullman to Albion, (about90 miles). Beautiful views along the river, but last week was not a good time for that ride, it must a been over 100 down along the river valley.

There are several other afternoon Loop rides around the area, so I have lots left to see.

I ride with full leathers, and it was a lil bit on the warm side.

If I knew for sure which ride i was going to fall down on, I suppose I could skip the leathers??? NOT!
