You know it was cold here, when they had to put heaters in with the Polar Bears at the San Diego Zoo. I guess they are SoCal polar bears, so they can't handle the cold anymore.

It's nice and warm today compared to the last few days. Must have been in the 40's when I left. It's like summer all over again! Get out there.

That's funny, never looked at it like that. Sorry for your weather being so inconvenient for you. I've ridden in those temperatures but usually ease up on the throttle a bit. 55 or 60 makes it a little easier to tolerate the colder temps then 80 mph, at least for a short time..

I was thinking the same thing. Folks in Cali don't know cold.

it has been forecast highs of 8-20 F all week. I am actually looking forward to the projected 40ish for the weekend so I can get the bike out out for a warmup, and regain some of my lost sanity.
