Default Winter

Yesterday, after doing all the necessary prep, I put my bike into the garage for winter storage. It's going to be a long few months.

Agreed. According to what I've been reading lately, El Nino might do the trick.

My bike will continue to be ridden into Dec. Sometimes I can ride almost all of Dec before getting it ready for winter storage.
