Default Who's still riding and who doesn't stop

Was a little chilly this morning.. mid 40's.. I'm still riding and have no plans to stop.. I need to reevaluate my cold riding gear, but I'm still going..

Who here has no "off season"?? Do any of you live where it's really cold but still keep riding throughout the winter??

I know some of you guys in So Cal and southern Florida ride all year, but I was wondering how many of you keep riding regardless of the temps?

A couple times a year it may dip down to the upper 50s - low 60s. That's when I man up, put the jacket on and get out there anyways... No cold weather is gonna keep me inside.

Year round for me too. I don;t ride in the rain...anymore. Those days are gone. I actually own a car too. LOL. Didn't have a car for many years though. It has been cold in teh morning. Mid 50's. Almsot broke out teh kleather jacket but a flannel and vest was fine.

Believe it or not, out here in the Mojave Desert it can get into the teens.
It hasn't yet, so I'm still riding.
The guys on the coast get the nice weather and extra traffic to even it out.

It was in the low to mid 30's in the morning this past weekend in the great lakes region, but that did not stop me for putting on 500 miles.

Still short sleeve t-shirt weather for me here. However, it has cooled down a bit. Those midnight rides aren't quite the same, so I'll probably be digging out the long sleeves soon.


I really don't miss the snow.
