Default Been a lonely 4 months

With my work schedule and the crappy weather in NW Ohio, I finally was able to take my bike out. It got to 64 today and it looked crappy since I woke up, so I wasn't gonna get her out. Then I was like screw it, it hasn't rained all day. Got about 20 miles from home and it started to rain. ERRRRRRRRRR Oh well. I brought her back home and I can't quit smiling. Come on spring.

I feel your pain. I haven't rode since November. Temps here in suburban Chicago reached 60 degrees yesterday. Hopefully, I'll get out this weekend for the year's first ride.

Wow, I'm a lucky guy. I ride almost every day. I can't understand how it would feel to hibernate my scoot. You Yankee boys are tough! Cheer up though it won't be long.

i got home from work today and "thought" i could get my first ride of the year in.. i was all excited, was doing all the pre-checks on my bike, checked the air in the back tire and it was low, went to put some air in it and my air-compressor hose basically blew up, started popping holes all over it (wtf?) and i couldnt put air in the tire.. needless to say i was/am pissed.
hopefully i'll it'll warm up soon here in SE MI. and when it does i'll have a new hose

It sucks not being able to ride. I can't wait for it to warm up enough and the snow to melt!

Seems like this winter has been the longest I can remember. Then again this is the first year of owning a bike. I have to work the next 3 days. 12 hour shifts. Only good thing about it, it's going to rain. So that makes me feel better. I don't mind riding in the rain. Just don't prefer to do so. Spring is on it's way. Someone really needs to kill that damn groundhog. Bastard.
