Riding Weather

I actually got about 60 miles of riding yesterday morning while the sun was shining. The afternoon clouds and rain chased me back to the garage however. Good riding weather is getting close isn't it?

Snowed here again lastnight. And the night before. And 3 days before that. Spring better hurry up and decide to make an appearance round here soon, or I might go a bit strange. Nobody wants that..... :mrgreen:

STOP SNOWING!!!!

Glad to say it was almost 70 here yesterday and it quit raining around noon. Had a chance to go out for a couple hours and so did Loonette. It is only a brief break in the cold, but it shows me we are heading back into the sweet stuff.

Only got about 20 miles on Friday night, but they were 20 miles I was needing! The wonderful storms and such have kept me from getting any more. I did get to spend an extra 10-15 minutes with the bike cleaning it up Saturday. Come on spring!!!

got about 100 miles since last thursday. I just moved into the city from the burbs (philadelphia) so i've been commuting to work every day since last thursday.

It was in the 70's over the weekend and today, but its supposed to drop 20 degrees and then snow later in the week :(

Not sure how long im going to stick it out and keep riding...
