Glad you folks are also being able to enjoy some of this Indian Summer weather! I'd hate to have to shelve my ride for the Winter months! As said, that is probably why I put up with the population and cost of living out here, and why I relocated to here from So. Cal. instead of further east.

Tomorrow my wife and I are furloughed from work (without pay to cut the state budget) and it will be sunny with a high of 75. We are going to ride, since I am going hunting this weekend.

Always good to hear the "riding stories".

Been on the road the last 2 days too!

3 more days of low 60s and sunshine here in MI. Rain, and Winter moving in Saturday for the season. Cannot believe a whole week of this weather. Good for yard work and final prep for the next 6 month season of snow. Still have the last batch of leaves to collect, and need to get the snow blower fired up and ready.

The overnights are frigid so not getting out until about noon riding until about 5 with sunset around 5:15.

I don't want to think about parking my bike ... but it's coming.

We just got slammed with a big snow storm here in Utah - hopefully I will get one more ride before the deep freeze of winter.

Yup, been in the 60's all week and I have been out everyday. Windy though. Next week I see the high will be in the lower 50's and 40's so I'm getting in my time while I can. Besides, next week deer season starts so I will have plenty to do.

It's a balmy 42 degree afternoon here in the East of England, and though not exactly an Indian Summer, it was a great opportunity to take the Cross Bones out, and get a few miles in.
