how getting out and riding just kind of clears your head... Yesterday was the first time I rode in about 3 months and after I got back everything just seemed better......

Amen. I've gotten to ride to work several times this winter (cold). Makes everything right again.

Ditto, I go nuts when I have to drive my cage, there's usually only a month or two where the weathers icy or snow or pouring down rain that I'm stuck driving. I rode all last week to work, temps in the low 30's high's in the mid 50's. Today and tomorrow is supposed to be rain and snow mixed, after that it's 30's for lows and mid 40's for high so I should be able to ride the rest of the week.

To me, that's the whole point of riding.

I find after a long ride, I'm comfortably tired (if that makes sense) and a lot nicer to be around...
