Chris Maida - Trees And Dogs
Posted by: | CommentsTrees And Dogs
Though it’s still cold in some parts of the country, most of you are getting to ride in decent weather. As we see it, besides offering you a variety of feature bikes and tech every month, we should also be encouraging you to ride the wheels off your bike by showing you cool and fun places to go. To that end, we’ve asked you, our readers, for submissions about your favorite roads and places to ride on and to. Some of you have responded by sending in great stories, which have appeared in AIM.

After a busy year, chillin’ in front of a fireplace and going on slow-mo for several weeks is a welcome change. It gives me a chance to recharge and get ready for another busy year. And that’s especially so this year, since we’ve been getting lots of the white stuff. However, by the time you read this, I’ll have had enough of the cold and ice and will be itching to get on the road to Daytona for my yearly round trip ride. Even though it’ll still be cold by the time I get back home, Daytona means spring is just around the corner! Read More→
