Born & raised in Philly. Miss home almost every day. Now living in Georgia. The state sucks but I get to ride year round so that makes up a lot!

GO EAGLES!!!!!

I'm in Chicago and we usually have nice weather (meaning not frozen) up to Thanksgiving. My bike will be in winter storage from the end of Nov thru the end of March, otherwise, I'll be on it!

I'm in the D.C. area and it's brutally hot right now...the best time to ride is in the fall months, there's plenty of riding season left!!

before you know it will be putting our bikes away already. summer really flying by. seems like just not enough good weather in pa. to justify having a 23 thousand dollar bike sitting aroud for 6 months a year.
I live in PA and last winter there was a few nice days for me to a little each month (Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar). And I don't wear winter garb.

Living in So. Cal we can ride at least some of every month if we really want too....Rainy season is no fun though just days and days of flat heavy down pours..... annoying . Won't plan to take my vacation until Fall though, planning a bit over 800 miles but a couple of hundred of those require crossing the desert and at 114 degrees in some places I think I can wait (July and August are bad months for us and heat).

Right now mother nature thinks we are too dry so is providing us with a nice shot of 100 + with humidity. No fun to just go for a ride....I rode in to work last week in the same temps and was dripping by the time I got home (18 miles).

What's wrong with winter garb?
