Took advantage of a beautiful Saturday that promised temps close to 70. Wind was strong out of the south but we knew if we could make it to Noel, then the ride home would be great with the wind at our backs. I can remember a day that I would never had attempted that, and can even remember turning around before because I just couldn't handle the bike in the wind. That was many miles ago. :) I don't like gusty winds, but a straight wind you can get used to. I don't ride with a windshield either so that's another challenge.
We didn't quite make it that far as the further South we went, the cooler it was getting so we decided to head on back and eat lunch at the Under Cliff, one of our FAVORITE spots to eat. They just opened back up from their 6 week winter break this week and it was PACKED. So packed that we didn't even attempt it. (not to mention we had already ate there on Wednesday).
We rode back to Joplin, ate at Lumpy's BBQ (it was good too) and on home.
The pics are from one of our spots that we have a little rest, south of 86 Hwy by Racine.
We rode 120 miles and my odometer rolled over to 34,000 right before I got home. It was a lot of fun.
