Default Going Crazy

Stupid me picked up my new Bones on Nov. 4, which is usually well past the first snowfall here in Alberta... I actually got to put about 200 (very cold) Km on it before winter really took hold, I was happy about that. We just got through a massive cold snap, to well above freezing. I seriously don't know which is worse, the cold and not being able to ride, or having it warm and still not being able to ride...

Going nuckin futz here, I'm 35 and all I wanna do is retire to someplace warm so I can ride all year

So yeah, just needed to rant a little, have a great day. And to my brothers in the south, put on some miles for me

Default Same here

Got the same thing here in Wisconsin. Hasn't been above freezing for a looong time. Usually can ride a little late March, May through October can be excellent.

At least I can go snowmobiling :-)

Hang in there, we're all in this together, I'm pulling for you. Keep your stick on the ice.

Man I wish...

Canada should have traded Alaska for Hawaii rather than selling it for $1... Fair trade IMO, USA gets to spy on Russia/China, and we get some year round warm weather

LOL If I were running the country...
