Default Decision time

I made my decision. I'm going for another ride this week. And the weekend, too.

Got out on two nice rides last weekend to ring in the new year. 73 today, maybe too warm for a jacket. Gotta watch that sun glare, too.

This weekend will only be in the mid 60's. Definitely will have to wear a jacket.

The sun is very bright when riding in January. Maybe a better pair of sunglasses...

You're really going to p*ss a lot of people off with this thread since most the country is having near record cold temps and can't ride!

Ya Ya Ya, I put mine away in early November and get it back out in April. I stop when we get snow and ride when the roads are clear. I dont think it is fun when it is below zero
