Default Got out for a bit today

I managed to escape this morning and got a little 100-miler in. Got over to the coast and back up the hills to Alice's before lunch.

My gravel/dirt road has a layer of packed snow and ice so NO riding for me for at lease 3 (or so) months!
It was over 40 degrees and sunny here on Wednesday and I did see one of those "enduro" style bikes with the hideous saddlebags headed towards Hell (MI) on my way to the eye doctor
Totally nuts!

It got up to a balmy 46 here in Pa yesterday so I took the little Vulcan out for a spin after work. Unfortunately I only got about 30 miles in because as soon as the sun dipped behind the horizon the temperature dropped fast and wasn't dressed for cold weather riding. But those 30 miles sure were sweet.

No escape for me. Too cold for an enjoyable ride here in NE Indiana. Planning my trip to Florida in early March. Will trailer the bike and ride for a couple of weeks with my BIL.
