It's Dec 30th and I just washed the bike outside

I think my dogs are confused too, they started shedding already. Hoping the rest of the winter will be mild.

I got a late season wash in too. Now changing things and detailing in the warm garage. Let it snow, I'll be clean and ready in the Spring.

lionsm13 - well while you might be cold, we are much colder.

I put my bike away because it was cold enough to freeze the ***** of the pool table.

45 here this Friday. I'm definitely going to give this bike a wash and a blow job.
(With that blow dryer thing I got)

Yes you got a bonus day there, probably a few. I remember flying helicopter into Mount Pleasant in September several years ago and was picking up Ice at 6000 feet, and that was the MEA so couldn't go any lower until i started my approach into Conneslville. I was happy to get on the ground. Enjoy it while you can.

Super cold here too today. Was only 64 as the high. Rode to the pier for coffee (3 miles) wearing a mid layer and was glad it was so close. Yesterday we rode 45 miles to lunch and it hit 68, so leather jacket and jeans was just right. I think it would suck to not be able to ride all winter. California politics suck big time, but at least the democrats can't take our weather.
