Default Where is Everyone!?!?

OK, so I know the high was only about 39-40 today, but the skies were blue, the sun was shining and the road surfaces were dry. In my mind, it was a beautiful day to ride. (That's why God invented chaps!) I rode for about 2 1/2 hours (no heated gloves and the fingers do start to get cold) and in that time I didn't pass ONE other bike! I was amazed.

Is everyone hibernating?

I used to live in Cleveland, so I understand North Coast weather, so I know what you're dealing with, brother.

Brisk ride today. upper 30's here this morning. High in the mid 50's. No sun to speak of. Not looking forward to the ride home. I guess it's time to get some heated gloves.

It was minus 26C today when I left the house with a fresh layer of snow that had fallen overnight. Didn't see even one REAL biker on the road. No posers neither. btw, I was in the truck.
