finally got out for a winter ride.
Well, its been since jan 13th i got in 300miles that day when the ohio weather actually hit 60plus degrees in a jan winter day.
Today wasn't perfect but i had to get out. So i hoped on the bike and went for a ride it was 40 degree's and strong wind i went about 60miles and it was a nice ride and fun getting out. come on spring.
So atleast i have got in my oct,nov,dec,jan,feb ride just have to make it to end of march and the weather should start to break around here and then it won't be long.

Finally above freezing here today(about 40 degrees I think..)
Snow & ice is off the roads (just the gravel to worry about...)
Got in about 55-60 miles!
....Waiting for Spring....

Won't be any riding here for a long while yet. It's currently -20 with 35mph winds which makes the wind chill -50. We had about an inch of snow the last day or so and it's blowing around causing white out conditions. I HATE winter!!

RE: finally got out for a winter ride.
I was just going to "proclaim" my ride yesterday when I saw this thread. I managed to get ~60 miles in, although the wind gusts were pretty bad. Had a few that about blew my glasses off and caused my eyes to tear up so bad I could barely see. That and I had to pull over once because the wind blew my insulated doo-rag off my head, fortunately the tail was trapped by my jacket and it didn't blow completely off!! It was 52 - 53 degrees yesterday, low 30's today. Come on Spring & Summer!! Oh well, at least I have managed to ride at least one weekend every month this winter.

Wow, Fredricktown must be waaaay down in southern Ohio.
No where near 60 here on the North coast. Freezing our butts off. So much salt on the road I expect deer to start licking the streets.

I just talked to my mom in Toledo and they had a 50F day a couple of days ago. But in the spirit of the thread I did get a good ride day window between snows on Thursday. Only ran errands as it was only about 40F and thats my limit, but it was a nice sunny day and a good short outing.
