i got out yesterday.. short 25 miler or so, but it felt great.

 

Headed out today - got in a ride friday to end the year right

 

Hit the road yesterday with my brother for a nice 75 mile ride since we had a nice 65 degree day.

 

Yup we had 6 in our ride group yesterday. Food, Beers, Great Times with close friends. Weather here was in the high 70's. Gonna hitter again today... Life is Good !!!

 

It was 50 degrees up here in Connecticut...I got 3 rides in. Second ride, had the wife hop on the back for a bit..but then the clouds came out, she got cold, I dropped her off back home and I took off again for almost an hour. Saw lots of other bikes out enjoying the spring-like weather. Snow on the ground when I headed out. Mostly melted by end of the afternoon.

 

The last few days of December had been 40-50° and rainy. Melted off most of the snow and washed off a lot of the salt. New Year's Day was 14°, but sunny. It gave me a chance to test out my heated gear that I got for Christmas. I only rode 15 miles, but it felt good to cure the PMS*.

My wife and I went on the annual Polar Bear Ride here in Portland,OR. Left the house at 10am and around 25 degrees. Had fun and it was dry for a change.

 

After reading all of this, I just have to move south......

 

we have about 8 inches of snow on the ground most of the roads were melted off but still wet. I couldn't help myself, so I went for a ride. When I got home I got the speech from the little lady how my thinking wasn't clear

 

My wife and I were at our home in Florida over the holidays and she suggested we buy another bike to leave in Florida! Naturally, I did not want to disappoint and went out and bought another bike which we rode for 400 miles in 4 days and of course rode on New Year's Day, 78 degrees. I can't wait for it to warm up in Connecticut as we will be in withdrawal without riding.
