Back went out the weekend before Christmas and yesterday was the first day I had enough range of motion to ride. Haven't had a chance to get out yet but I'm heading out on Saturday.

Was in the low 50's today so I got out for about 50 miles this afternoon. Rain on Friday but supposed to be nice on the weekend so hopefully I can get back out then.

Road is also known as a that piece of tarmac we all ride our vehicles on. Your poll would sound much better if you asked, Have you ridden in 2014? The way it is it doesn't make sense. But we knew what you meant.

Not yet in 2014. I took my bike in the 31st and won't get it back until Jan. 14th. They think the lower end/counterbalance has gone out. If it has, they said I'd get a new engine.
