Official End of Summer!

Courthouse Where Billy The Kid Was Jailed - Las Cruses, NM Ricardo & Tomas - July 28, 2012

We've had two days in the 60s with highs around 74 reminding us that summer has come and gone. I guess none of us will miss those 104 degree days when you're as close to turning into beef jerky as you're ever going to get and then you start thinking, "at what temperature tires start to melt?". When its summer we long for those cool fall days and then, not too long afterwards, we long for those summer days. I guess we've narrowed it down to the perfect range for riding is between 78 and 82 degrees. In South Texas we have about four or five of those days or at least it seems like it. I shouldn't complain since guys are already talking about putting their bikes up for the winter. At least we get to ride year round. Whenever I complain about the weather I just check my weather bug appl and check the weather in Cooke City, MT just north of Yellowstone National Park which we rode through on a cool July day. Tonight it'll be a cool 66 degrees and clear in Mission, Texas while my friends in Cooke City will enjoy a low of 23 degrees with freezing rain or snow!
