Got to catch up with that animal edilgdaor but I only added 154 miles today as I had to do the 5K first.

That does put me to 21,500 for the year.

We were in the 90's last week and now we are lucky to get much above 65*.

snowing here in Denver, no riding today. Monday? hoping so. If determined you can ride pretty much year round here, layered or with heated gear.

If your talking local to your address listed thats hilarious, what is it 85 degrees in your area and its time to park the bike for winter... OK maybe up on Donner Pass its time but 80% of California is year around ridding...

God be kind to Californians they know not what they do

I envy the guys that say "did 20k this year... Oh, by the way, I'm retired."

I feel pretty good for being a married working stiff from Dayton and still got 6,000 miles in so far this year.

Okay, this is one I just CAN'T wade through all the way...
so, that said, I just wanna share a true story.
1975 or so...Norfolk Va. - I've been riding a lot with the Southern Riders, a 1% outfit called Renegades (lot of fun there, really) and variious other including the Black Sheep (all Trumpet riders on BobJobs)...and there was this STIGMA...meaning, last one to quit was the last one to "quit"...so...
I'm riding daily down to my job at John Deere on my bike, and daily see this GUY...on some old BSA...and we ride and ride and ride...into the snow. I finally cave in because I'm in leathers, 2 pair jeans, and longjohns...it's getting down into the ....well, say teens...and THIS GUY....YEAH, THIS GUY...is STILL riding after I buy me a pickup truck!
One day I catch him at a light...so it's now, "HEY, remember ME, the guy on the TRIUMPH???"
He's all like, YEAH, I remember YOU...and I'm all like, this: "HOW DO YOU DO IT???"
He opens up his jacket and he's got a SCUBA SUIT on under the leathers.
Well, the bastid ownded me.
