Well it's that time of year again. I took the sunscreen out of my saddle bags, I purchased a bottle of seafoam and now I am doing an oil change.

Well it did not take long for the southern states to start chirping.

I'll keep riding until the first snow, when they salt the roads.

This is the morning after I had to race home from South Dakota Oct 4 when they started to report snow storms. The last 100 miles I road through wet snow and 40-50 mph side winds. The car, not mine, is stuck in a snow bank.
and so it begins-img_0696.jpg
The snow has all melted but it is still to cold to ride. Today I will clean the bike and store it for the winter.

For me, real winter hits mid to late December. Still have about 2 more months before it is that time.

It happens when the northern states and counties start chirping about winter coming, when it's 90° here.
