Well, I probably got the last decent ride in yesterday.  It got up to 60F, so the wife and I headed out for the afternoon.  The weather guesser is calling for up to 1/4" of snow Tuesday.

Troll, that's a great pic with the bridge- I like it.

It was chilly here today, I think it got as warm as 54, but really windy.  I  had too many chores to do, and had to get them done so I could go this evening to see Dad in the hospital.  When I was in town for a couple things, (in the truck) I saw about 20 bikes, though, gathered at the restaurant- they were just leaving when I pulled through.  I was told at the hardware store that there were about 70 just before that.  COLD day for a ride like that with that much wind.....

I hate seeing that white stuff in those pics.... Just keep it up there for a few more weeks if you don't mind!  It's supposed to get in the teens (F) next week.  bah humbug.

45 degrees. Windy, cloudy, nasty, but no snow...yet. Here's a couple of views of our Mississippi bridges you don't often see. I'm taking every chance I can get to ride. They are saying mid 20's over night, and a Monday high of 31....

The thermometer said 51 degrees this morning, so I rode to work. Did not pay attention to the weather forecast. Just looked at the radar, might get a little damp on the way home...

   >:( Salt...only good think is it brings the moose to the highway so you don't have to walk far anymore......Saw a hero today on his big bad a$$ H-D and he had a neoprene face cover and all the gear riding around town, and best part is there were frozen puddles on the road........even PC would not be riding on a day like today......other then to mess with us northerners

They salt our roads here in the upper mid-west, too. That's one of the reasons it's called the Rust Belt.  Sometimes it's just salt pellets dumped out the back of a truck, and sometimes it's salt water brine sprayed all over everything that's near the truck...Spring is probably the hardest time to judge, since the salt left over from winter is just waiting on the road to mess up your bike...

I have my limit at 41 degrees F. Below that, it just becomes too dangerous to ride with humidity and rain threaten to turning the roads into an ice rink.

On top of that, they salt the roads here in Sweden when it goes ner freezing temps and the potential damage to bike and frame is just too big.

If it weren't for this, I could ride all year round...

  I went to an ABATE meeting this afternoon. Just a little run north about 30 miles. There were lots of people out riding, today...because the weather liar is predicting winter, starting tomorrow. 55 deg, sunny but VERY windy....

I can always look to the future sitting on m bike in the cold cold garage making putt putt sounds while bouncing up and down on my new Singh seat.  Boy That Sucks! Winter! Bah Humbug!

Dude do not give PC any ammo to hammer you, send a pm to himself Mr. Troll, and order his CD of all his rides this summer with the sound. Then park the bike in the living room, who is the king of your house, surly you are, and set up the bike in front of the Big Screen TV , drop in Mr. Troll's CD and then a couple of industrial fans and you can sit on your bike, of course on a lift so it is level, and the winter is your release.......

if you are not the King in your own home then get with it and insulate the garage and make it a real man cave.....snap out of your dreams....

Not many people out riding anymore! Not tonight anyway. Raining cats and gerbils out there.  Even though it looks like there just might be a few nice days ahead I guest I am officially off the grid. My insurance drops to storage status tomorrow. Guess I have to face the music and finish (start) some of the projects that were interrupted by the sunshine, the road, and the sound of my Roadhouse two-in-ones.  So as the memory of my morning breakfast rides, cranking through the back roads of the Kettle Moraine, fall color rides, and burgers at Gill's slowly fade into the background I can always look to the future sitting on m bike in the cold cold garage making putt putt sounds while bouncing up and down on my new Singh seat.

Boy That Sucks! Winter! Bah Humbug!
