The likes of you are an inspiration. Too many times I have taken off in the rain but too much nice riding weather outside the cave to do it too often, unless a PGR mission.

Just got back from a ride. A little cold but can't complain since I can ride year round. Don't know how you guys up north do it!

Clear Lake is an awesome area to ride. Mt. St. Helena is right there too!

I picked up my new 16 Limited in February and now have​ 1900 miles on it, thanks to some warm weather, which is anything but normal in northern Illinois. I was jonesing for a ride today. It was sunny, but only 29° so I passed. Not sure I'll be able to resist tomorrow, especially since it's supposed to snow 1-3" tomorrow night.
