Smile Anyone getting spring fever?

I sure am. I did get a little taste today, got up to 52F here today, so I rolled the bike out and went for a little ride. A little cool, but with long johns, warm coat and a windshield it was really not too bad.

Unfortunately starting tomorrow for quite some time only 30's and 40's so the bike is back in the garage and I am back on the PC.

Counting the day till warm weather.

I figure today is the 1/2 way point of the winter. Put it away around Nov 20, and can usually pull the bike out late March so long as the salt is washed off the streets.

Our weather has not thrown us any spring teasers yet so I figure I am only half way through hibernation.

30's and 40's, I'm riding in that weather, heck I rode earlier this year in 14 degrees with ice on the roads (you jus gotta be careful). There are not too many too cold days here in Georgia, so In jus bundle up and ride. Now if they salted the roads here the bike would be parked (and I would havva buy a car).

Spring fever? It's the middle of January and the roads are covered in snow, ice and salt. We have a ways to go.

I've ridden a few times already. If it's over 40 I'll ride. Definitely going out tomorrow. It's gonna be 45 and it rained today so most of the road salt is gone.

I can't wait until spring. Its 85 today (USA Fahrenheit) but 100 tomorrow. Then back between 85-100 for the next few weeks. Mid March will average 80-85 (our Spring) until June when it may drop to 50. Spring rules. Weather report from Adelaide South Australia.

Sorry
