Last time on the bike was New Years Day....that was 20 days ago....it was hovering 50 degrees. Since then...we've had snow on the ground, lots of it...and more about to fall in a few hours. Storm Clare they named her.

Just have to make it about 2 and 1/2 more months....end of March we start getting some hints of spring.

I just discovered that I was looking at average temps for March, April, and May on two different weather sites. I don't know how I got there.......

I dunno how you guys that live up North do it. But I guess we here in Florida take it for granted. It's been sunny & mid 70's past few days, & I didn't ride ONCE!

Are you sitting down? Good. Now, spread your legs apart, raise your hand up above your head, make a fist and bring it straight down as hard as you can.

It's sunny here in jersey with a high temp. of 23 degrees and snow on everything. More snow this week. It's got to be nice living someplace where you can ride year round. Come on spring.

When I got up this morning and saw 30 below zero I just wanted to go back to bed until March or so. It warmed up to 26 below on my way to work and I started thinking about how much I grumbled about riding to work at 26 above on the bike this fall. Then it hit me.....how could I be grumbling about cold when I was at least RIDING!
