Thank you, and well golly I really don't know. I think Ive had bad luck with mine because about 5/7ths of the time it lands on a work day. A few times I've contemplated doing a b'day + 1/2 thing where I wait until May and ride my age plus one half. But what the heck, it doesn't come with anything gold-plated or redeemable at the bank, so I say ride it however you like!

You all weren't joking about the wind, it was fierce
Nice pics! It was indeed windy. And cool, bordering on cold. I had to watch for a few ice glaze spots this morning. Still, it's more fun that driving (and I used to like driving).
