we had a "heat wave" here in the DC area, also. Go to 61 degrees which melted the rest of the snow & ice we had on the ground. Needless to say I went for a long ride, which if much more time had gone by without a ride, I would have gone totally bugscrew!!

It hit 45 here today and I had the windows open in the cage but all the farther I could get on the scoot was three feet out the garage door. Awful hard to ride with 11 inches of snow and ice on the ground.

How far south do I have to go to get a ride in?!!!!
