I finally was able to ride to work today also. So far I have ridden at least one day a month since I bought my Bob in november but this is the first day in 2007 that ive been able to ride work in the morning. I got lot of are you crazy comments because there was ice in some areas but I didn't encounter any. What a sweet ride home in 50+ sunny weather. The snow is melting fast here in Vermont but I almost couldn't get my bike out of the shed in the back yard, and was power sliding across the lawn a couple of times. I just couldn't wait any longer. I've managed to get almost 800 miles since Nov 11.

yeah, its hard. We have really long and wet seasons up here in the NW and this time of year really gets to me... We don't get near the ice/snow you get, and I could ride much more... but I don't enjoy it when its raining, 98% humidty, and 40 degrees out. Its just not fun.

Between now and July I will be driving my wife crazy with monitoring the weather reports, checking the doppler, etc. I do manage to get about 5000 miles in during July/August/September however.
