Yeah Yeah.... go ahead and gloat!  Like you said we'll be riding next summer when you're clinging to your AC and sucking on ice cubes!  :-)

Well, it's a bit chilly here too (that is if you dared go outside in the blizzard conditions - no where to go since everything is closed anyway), but JUST to keep up with the Gillums, I too got my bike out on the ice yesterday just before this latest snow dump..... eatcherheartout Arizona.....

I think it would be enough to have 3+ olde broades on bikes - the D would be an 'added attraction'.  You girls would show me up anyway with all your carb counting expertise. I've only been type 2 for 13 years and am still learning the Lantus ropes. But I can fill in the blanks with lots of other 'fun' diseases! 

Not sure about renting a bike though. I've only done that once up in N. Alberta. It's not like they will rent anything like your sportsters (in my minimal experience).  There is a decent Vintage Motorcycle Show that comes to a small Ontario town named Paris (near Toronto) every summer. That might be fun to attend and it's only about a 2 hour ride (one way).  I've been to that a few times and seen some awesome looking oldsters (and their bikes!) How long could you ride in a day - assuming you would consider staying at my humble abode in London, ON ? Is this at all do-able? Or are we just bumping helmets?

Hey Ladies!  It is to fun dream about the perfect putt w/ your peeps.  What an empowering experience to ride with peeps who really know the Big D.  I can hear the engine now....jax

I'm sooooo jealous that I can't tag along! But, I'm way too far from you guys. I live in coastal Lousiana.

Funny I was talking about Fat Cat Anna.  I have been thinking of riding out to meet with her and then maybe a putt down through the Smokies.  But I too suffer with pain issues.  I just keep finding that if I set the goal and plan, I tend to be able to do it.  Right now the biggest thinkg is the economy.  Rural United States has been hit hard and we are fine but our friends and some family members are suffering.  It is been hard to think ab out the expense of my idea of a perfect putt.  But, alas something will come up.  I love trains also and can rent a bike just about anywhere.  Hmmmmm....Jax

Maybe we could get Fat Cat Anna to meet us half way as Montreal is at least a day's ride from me and another couple hours to the US border. I'm not healthy enough to be too far from home for too long, but like I said - I'd still love to ride - shorter jaunts.  Anna is in to sailing so maybe she could sail up the lakes to meet us somewhere closer to Detroit? Not sure how one sails up Niagara Falls but the locks must be the key!  I can see pretty good (so far) but my energy levels are as low as my pain levels are high.... plus I'm a tad older than you young chickies!

Bikette I have not riden in Canada yet!  I have been pondering a trip to hook up with another female biker with diabetes who lives in Montreal.  It would be the bomb if we could get a ride (perhaps annual?) started  as apparently there are quite a few of us bikers in the area.  Bikers with Diabetes Annual Ride, sounds good to me.  Happy Trails Jax

That's a cool video!  Only I'd prefer to be in front - wind in my hair, bugs in my teeth yadda yadda...  My hubby no longer rides and I'm really not fond of riding my 30 year old machine too far from home for too long at a time, but I still love to ride (photos are somewhere in this group).

So um... Jax - I'm just across the bridge/tunnel from you. Do you ever come over to the 'civilized' part of Canada? If you're not big on crowds you wouldn't want to be anywhere near Port Dover on May 13. I've been there a few times, but just not on that big biker weekend.... and I'm also riding a rice burner and wearing pink leather, so the boys in black don't usually associate with me either.
