34 Degrees in Florida?
I got up early this morning and hit the road just to feel that cool crisp air that so many folks up north complain about called WINTER!
I got all leathered up and into the wind with the excitement of a three year old opening one special present on Chrstmas eve.
The first five miles were a blast! Then another three or so on the interstate and that little hole in my hat that I was wearing backwards started to feel like an icecube frozen to my forehead! I kept going another five miles down the road and pulled over to take a break
. I turned around and came back home and heated up some chicken wings from the night before, I hit 'em with a little extra hot sauce and downed two beers
. Can't remember the last time I had a beer before lunch...[8D]
I guess I'm spoiled because we get to ride so many days out of the year down here in the south. I have MUCH sympathy for my northern friends today.
Winter sucks for bikers!!!

Yeah, I rode into work last nite and this morning I froze my a$$ off coming home! Had to stop for coffee just so I could feel my fingers again. Ha! I grew up in central Ill. and should have remembered just how cold that wind gets! Ed
