Default time to ride

Well its finally time here in central indiana. We got a good rain last night into this morning to wash the salt away and melt the rest of the snow. I am clocking out at work right now and heading home to get in the saddle.

I'm with ya....getting out of here early & gonna go ride for the first time in a month.

It got cold mid-December, then had snow on the ground since Christmas Day. The last of the snow finally melted during the night with all the rain & the roads are clean & clear & it's 61 right now!

I'm in very eastern IL....right on the river about 30 miles south of Terre Haute.

We had about the same amount of snow here you had near the Indy area I think....got 9 inches on Christmas day, then another 5 inches the following weekend & it's been cold since.

You guys be careful at intersections. That stuff will pile up and stick around for a while making it a bit dangerous if you aren't careful.

I'd be doing the same if I hadn't gotten Pneumonia last week, been in the doctors office's and testing 4 of the last 5day to get better...

So NO ridding for a while,,,, regardless of how nice it is for a while..


Enjoy Ur rides and I'll be there ASAP...
