Sunday Ride

Last Sunday the weather was beautiful so we took a Sunday ride. The guys were talking about meeting up for a ride at the bar on Saturday. We women said whatever you guys want to do is fine with us.

Our friends met us in Hardin on Sunday afternoon. Our original plan was to eat lunch at the Spring Creek Bar, but when I tried to call there was no answer. We ate lunch at the 4 Aces. It was nice to get together with our friends and catch up on what we all did.

It was just a short ride, rode up Sarpy to Hysham over to Custer and then back to Hardin. That is about 110 mile round trip from Hardin. A good ride to get broke into riding again before we head out on these chapter rides. Besides we have been waiting for along time to get the bikes out and on the road.

There is a strech of road on the Sarpy Highway that is horrible and that is on the Treasure County side. There were signs warning us about water on the highway. Just one low laying area where there was water on the road, not too bad on Sunday. Alot of water everywhere. There is also a huge bump in the road.

The road is bumpy once you get into Treasure County, this particular bump is across the whole road and when Gary hit it, I literally came off my seat. In fact when all the guys hit it, all of us women looked like those gophers in that game.

We were going to take the frontage road in Hysham and Custer, but when we got to the junction of I-94, the frontage road was closed due to flooding. We had to take I-94 to Custer. We stopped in Custer for a drink before saying our goodbyes to our friends. They all live in Billings or Laurel so they continued on from Custer, while we came home.

It was a very nice afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed that winter is behind us and we can enjoy the spring and summer. This has been a very long winter. Not getting my hopes up too high, after all Easter is not here yet.

It has been a very long time since we have had winters like this year that we are spoiled. When the real thing comes along then we complain.
