Getting some much needed TLC today. Oil, filter, chain and sprockets.

Tires are next.

Still a bit smokey due to nearby wildfires, but better than yesterday. Seems to be the new norm for Friendship Ride weekend. Should be about five degrees cooler today, so that should help.

Taking Ol’ Yeller out today, just as I did ten years ago when I started this ride. It’s hard to believe that it’s been so long since we lost Mike, but I know today will be another great day of riding, friendship and surely Mike will be with us as we twist our way through some of his favorite roads.
