Winter set in, snow, cold and salt!

Then we had a couple of days where it was warmer, but raining , and in the 40°F's and wet isn't good. But last evening after a couple of salt washing off the roads rainfalls, it cleared up, was near 60°F, and out the door I went.

AHHHHHHHHH!!! And Riding in January in Western N.Y. Priceless!

Below freezing, High winds and snow flurries now though. But a great break that I got to take advantage of.

Just got off the bike about 20 minutes ago.

A little breezy out there, but not too bad.

Skipped out of work for a couple of hours on January 29th and got in a little riding. It's only supposed to hit the low 30's the next couple of days, but should be sunny so hopefully be able to squeeze a couple of rides in. The way I see it, any day that you can ride in the winter is a gift.

2 days ago. Took a ride up to Saint Augustine, cruised the beach all the way back. Almost started to sweat. It was close to 80 degrees.
