Haven't been riding for two weeks due to a lot of snow and ice, and lack of a headlight. Got back on yesterday though during the day and rode while it was snowing. It's always fun in the snow.

Have been riding when it's been down in the 10's F with no problems. Just can't make it for more than 30 min like that.

:shock: Wow, that is a bit chilly.

My bike has been put away for a few weeks, now. It was 1 degree F last night, I am not sure if the Radian would even start when it's that cold.

I am trying to figure out a way to strap the bad Rad to the top of my Civic so I can ride when I'm back in Seattle tomorrow. I'd kill for a few days of riding with weather above freezing.

I only kill vermin, Al. You must think I'm out there shooting everything that moves. :wink:

Owls ain't vermin, they eat vermin. We're on the same team. It'd be like shooting Gretzky.... :laughing:

-20-25*C really ain't that cold for this time of year. A week or so working out in that temp, and your pretty used to it. As long as the wind stays down. Nothing F's up your day like a -25* wind blowing up yer hoop at 80 KPH...... :evil:

Still too cold to ride though.... :?

When it drops down to -30-35, then you'll hear me blitch.....
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

I can remember snow days back when I was in je high... that'd be about 10 years ago now where my friends and I would be outside playing on the snow hill that the scrapers would make after pulling all the snow off the street.

A snow day around here is where the tmeperature with windchill is below -40. And -40 C and -40 F are pretty much the same thing. Chew on that for a while. We breed tough ones up here in the frozen north.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
