Well for February it was a nice day, deceptively nice. As in up to the low 50's with a lot of sun. I thought, "I can ride the bike out my snowy driveway, it's not deep, an inch or two." THAT was wrong, and I found how much wrong that was after all the repairs. Nothing serious just a low side, but the parts cost enough. Once I got myself picked up and got in the car, I hustled down to Philly to meet up with some friends who came down to a relatively new pizza place for lunch.

Since the weather was nice the place was full, so I put in our name and found out it was a 45 minute wait. Then more folks showed up and the wait was up to an hour now. Well, some folks couldn't wait that long, so they headed on their way. It was cool to sit and talk with them and to catch up with their crazy lives. I also discovered today what a portal gun was, even though it wasn't allowed to leave the car. We finally did get to sit and the pizza wasn't bad, pretty good actually.

The day was bright and clear with a few stray clouds around. The forecast only had a slight chance of rain and the temps in the morning were in the forties, we were going to have a good day. And we did. I had a good ride up to the diner where we meet for breakfast. I caught up with R/T, his girl, and ANLR 21. We hung out for a bit in the parking lot and then we went in to eat. Jlasure, johnric42, cabanaboy, and andyr joined us for breakfast along with Stephen, frindle, and Martin. I was glad to see so many folk coming out and getting a chance get to know folk a bit better, we also got to hear and see some pics from Cabanaboy's trip down to North Carolina and back with his dad. J-mac also brought his three kids plus they brought a friend. We had a good breakfast and some fun time talking and then we went out for the riders' meeting. Out there, k-pilot, Bill, and XIII were waiting for us. We split into two groups and not three because my lead group rider, jlasure, took a spill on the track last weekend. That's three of the chapter members that crashed on the track this year. Thankfully, his injuries were minor and he'll be riding next month. We had an abbreviated riders' meeting because all those in attendance rode with us before. The safety tip for this month was leaves, watch out for them. Plus it had rained yesterday and wet leaves in a shady corner was a possibility.
