It's not the cold that stops me, it's the salty roads. I don't like that stuff creeping into the unseen areas of my bike.

I chose the first option. I will ride when it is down to around 25 as long as the roads are clear. Unfortunately this morning its 18 with ice on the roads. The cold won't kill me but the ice will. The weather sure has me down.

Weather's got me pretty bummed. Went on a ride yesterday and run thru a little rain shower and got my t-shirt wet. Luckily the sun came back out and it dried in no time.

Good Luck

Tom

That I agree with. While it's been fairly mild so far - the salt crews have been working overtime...

One thing about living in the mid-atlantic area... if we want to see what the weather is going to be tomorrow, all we need to do is turn around and look west.

Seems the weather for tomorrow is coming outta' Kansas...
