good 100 mile commute today on Eastern Shore of Maryland. Not too cold yet, but did not pass another bike. Left the windsheild at home, but kept the backrest on. Felt great.

I don't see many here either even though weather has been great. A little chilly in the mornings, 30-40, but beautiful in the afternoons, mid 60's-70's.

Beautiful weather here! Little cool in the mornings with temps in the mid to upper 40's and absolutely gorgeous in the afternoons with mid 80's. Wearing gloves and perf leather jacket (no liner) with maybe a sweatshirt for the mornings.

Empty wallet here and the weather has absolutely sucked for the past week. Rain, wind, sleet, snow. But the bike is still ready to go asap. Hoping to get a couple more long rides (2-3 tanks) in.

I want to keep riding, but I'mm pretty new to it and last time I rode my bike to work my legs didn't warm up for like 4 hours after I got to the office. I ordered some chaps, maybe that will help.
