First 1,000 miles? Check!

Well, I've officially passed the first 1,000 miles on my bike! We went riding all over the place this weekend. The bike goes in on Wednesday for the initial 1,000 mile fluid swap, and we have decided to change it out for synthetic. It's supposed to help keep everything cleaner longer, and since I plan to keep this bike for a long time, we figured it was worth the extra cost.

Now for the riding. Saturday we went West to Nekoosa. It was the first day we haven't had any wind so the ride was AWESOME! We did a lot of back roads and twisting and turning, and only had a few detours due to construction. Riding along the Wisconsin River was amazing. The views were incredible. We did learn that apparently that day was Rummage Sale day since we went through Port Edward and I swear almost every house had a rummage sale going on. It was actually kind of funny after a while. I lost count of the sales after a while. We ended up putting on about 230 miles, and ended our day back in Oshkosh and had pizza at West End Pizza, one of our favorite spots for pizza.

Sunday led us to the other side of the lake to meet up with friends. It was a little breezier riding, but not as bad as previous rides we've had. We cruised back around to our side of the lake, went to The Twist for ice cream in Greenville (think Dairy Queen), rode out near Poy Sippi and then back to Oshkosh to meet some other riding friends for dinner at the Tilted Kilt. It was a great day for riding and we got to see a lot of interesting things while tooling around on the back roads. Lots of twisting and turning and curves to keep things interesting.

This weekend helped us learn more about the GPS, and the headsets are still working out well. I'm getting a lot more comfortable on my bike, and I think this is starting to look like a great riding season!
