Got to about 50-ish today. Must have been like Summertime for ya Doug.

Managed to get in 60 miles myself today.............
I spent from about 1:00 PM to 400 PM going around town doing errands. Stopped by HD and got a new oil filter. Went to sit on my favorite RoadKing and it had a SOLD sign on it, and I ain't sitting on someone elsesbrand new bike. I told the guys at the dealership they owed the bbuyer a new seat, since I think I wore that one out, and I hoped they gave him a good deal on that used 2008 RoadKing.

After gettng my 1st 50 miles or so in going around Winchester, I decided to go to Hardees and get a sandwhich.......... The Hardees I had in mind is in Petersburg, WV about 70 miles from my house. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was 73 degrees in Moorefield, WV and 72 in Petersburg................ Friggin summertime.
The sun was setting when I left Petersburg, and the temps started dropping pretty quick after that. Started thinking I should've worn the chaps........... Gets cold in those valleys.
Oh well, got in about 175 miles all together........... sure hope gas doesn't go over $5 a gallon for super

Glad you got to ride too Jay.

Petersburg and Moorefield are both north and west of me. Yankees ain't dumb............. they stole that warm weather from the Rebs and hid it in the West Virginy mountains. I just happened to get lucky

What week did it cold in Mississipi??I do remember it can get cold in Biloxi around January....... I remember ice puddles when marching to class at Keesler AFB, back in the 70s.

Hope you get some good riding in, watch out for the road gators!! I hear they eat Dunlops for breakfast.
