Yea your weather actually made headlines down here. Who would've thunk? Anyway enjoy while you can, you're not likely to get a whole lot of it.

I rode the 1st & 2nd. Stopped riding on the 3rd with temps ending about 22*. On the 4th we woke up to 15* with windchills at 0*. Today started at 26* but by this weekend we'll be upper 30's - lower 40's. I'll be riding again soon enough! ANYTHING is better than snow!
