I get as much riding in as I care to. If I wanted more, places are available to go to. I enjoy the solitude of winter. The tourists are back around Detroit and Chicago and the north is back to where we can go to the store and leave our cars running in the lot.
I don't hate winter. I hate snow, cold, ice, and the idiots who cannot drive in this stuff. Winter is a break in riding season....gives me more reason to thoroughly enjoy the riding season here. And then there's basketball.....
Winter is kind of nice, especially in Southwest Florida! Seriously, the bikes both north and south are ready to go if the weather and road conditions cooperate, 24/7/365.
