I think we’re in the clear now in VT. Was in the 20s two days ago and hit 60 today. Got out for a short jaunt and it felt great.

Spring is finally sticking here in WI. Bike is out on the street today! Mornings are still pretty brisk, but it's getting into the 60's. Thing is.. It's still below average temps. At least I'm riding finally, but it would still be nice if we'd get back to at least average temps. Every single day in April has been below average.

Starting to get emails from the local dealers about trading bikes in...

Oh, there is still this white $hit on the roads too... freaking salt... Will have to still wash the bike here and there to be sure to get that crap off...

I ride with gauntlet glove and electric jacket about 4 month every year. Then about 7 months a year it is HOT & sticky, and I am looking forward to those colder months. lol

Only about 1 month a year where it is SoCal type perfect riding weather.

Finally got mine out Saturday. Upper 50's with 30-35 Mph winds. Felt like heaven to me. My soul has been freed

It apparently has come to an end here in central Indiana. It was in the upper 50's yesterday, and low 60's today with no clouds. Put 120 miles on the bike this afternoon enjoying it! Forecast is for it to reach almost 80* on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then rain and cool off some.

It had to end sometime...

Did a lot of riding yesterday in some 72 degree weather. Today, I stayed home in solidarity with my Yankee brothers and my grass needed cutting.
