only about 25 miles, but I can honestly say that I got to ride every month so far this winter. Maybe not as comfy as the warm weather brothers and sisters out there, but I got to ride.

you lucky dog! I have my heated gloves and vest ready to go...my problem is not excessivley low temps. It's the freakin' snow that's been on the ground for about 6 weeks here!

we are having freakish winter storms that are not usual......went out yesterday and wiped her down, and now I look at her in the garage from from my office window....closest I can get to a ride.

Guess I could sit on it and make "potato-potato" sounds.....it might come to that.....

I rode yesterday and today. Got up to 57 in the middle of Ks. today. Really pretty nice, and I rode about 30 miles today, and about 25 yesterday. I have been getting in a few rides all winter, with january being the worst. I have put on about 200 miles since the first of december. We will be getting cold and snow again tonight and tomorrow, and then cold for the next 10 days. Hope we have a nice spring.

Yup, did the same. It has been warmer today than it has been in over a month. I still shivered through every mile, but it was definitely good for the soul. I've been nearly ready to climb a wall.
