It was low 50s to low 60s for a while here, got out a couple of times. Saw an antelope just muchin away at the grass in the roadway center divider on one run. Yesterday got up to a blistering 38. Took the car.

Back in the day, I spent 1 1/2 years living in Eden Prairie, MN. It took several months to thaw out once I came back to SoCal.

This is what Christmastime looks like out here.

It was 77° here in central Texas yesterday and nice. Today, it's in the low 40s and raining. I'm not sure what season it is anymore.

Not exactly riding weather here right now...




That's ok, though. I won't feel too bad about tearing into my engine upgrades with the weather like it is.

Glad you got to enjoy it. Wait until tomorrow. The crapola we have today in Texas will be on your door step shortly! It was in the 70s Wednesday and Thursday for us.

Hit a nice little 140mi ride today. Nothing special. Down the coast then back up by Cooks. Tomorrow should be a 200+ mile day. Looking at around 1500 for the 4 day weekend. Love SoCal weather.
