Default Winter is here

Well this morning i woke up to frost on the bike, pulled out the leather, gloves, and hat.... Love fall riding, taking turns with leaves falling and blowing all around you! Reminds me why i love to ride so much.... everyone ride safe in the winter months and remember that cars do not expect us there in the summer it is even worse in the winter!
Cold in Chicago...

Frost?!? Thanks for the warning. Whatever you folks get, it usually makes it's way over here, in the lower part of the 'mitten'.

Turned back to summer here in the northeast, but the upcoming weeks will be a challenge, need all the cold gear for the AM ride to work, but it's too much for the ride home.

I'm only playin' with ya Joe. I'm a few hours north of ya, been ridin' back and forth to work as it's gotten cold and my hat, gloves and warm stuff have been out for a couple weeks now. Lows in the 40's in the mornin' sure wakes ya up on the ride to work.

I had to givea F.I.B. a little crap that's all. [sm=escape.gif]

I prefer the falling leaves when it's about 68 - 72. Just cool enough for a light jacket or long sleeve shirt. Predicting 80's here still through at least next weekend when I'll be in Myrtle Beach. Love to hear that!
