Default I've just got to ride tomorrow!!!

Anyone else going to get a ride in? The weather forecast for N. GA is alling for sun and highs in the 50s. Perfect riding weather! Still trying to decide where to go. My buddy just said that it's up to me. There's great riding in any direction from NW GA. Nashville, Knoxville, Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Alabama, Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, NE GA mountains! or Western NC Who knows? But, usually we log about 250-300 miles. This Winter has really sucked....I really feel for you guys in the North who have to deal with all that damn snow every year! No surfing HD Forums for me tomorrow! I'm riding!

I dunno what the weather was like in north Georgia today, but here in my part of the state it was in the 50s today, I got out and rode for a short spell today, than did my service (oil change) and rode to work tonight, it is suspose to be about 30 in the morning when I get off, but it is only about 15 miles home and I have made that trip many times (this winter and last) in much colder temps. Hope you enjoy your ride tomorrow.

I managed to get out and ride today. A very unimpressive 20 miles, but hey, it was only 29 degrees and my gloves suck!

I can smell a ride for tomorrow. Got a new SE UC sitting in the garage with a whole 1 miles on it. Want to get close to 100 on it. Leaving for Fl in two weeks and want to have a portion of the breakin done.

Will be in the 30's tomorrow, that would work, but we are getting more snow right now. May be 1-2" and that will make for slick spots. I will ride cold weather, but not icy roads. So I guess I will just have to be envious of those with warmer weather. Hasn't been above about 35 in a couple months now in my part of IL. Every morning I get up and look at the outside temp, and just sigh. No change.

Hit 38° here in Chi-Town today. Ended up stuck in my office with a bunch of stuff right out of the gate this morning, but managed to hit the road for about 6 hours this afternoon and evening.
