Looks like I may have gotten the last ride of year Sunday. It was about 20 degrees. I went down to Kent. There are usually a buch of bikes there on Sunday Mornings. I was the only idiot!!! I was there a little late, around 1:00pm.

I am lookin at about 3 inches of snow in the front yard. Probably pull the battery tomorrow.

Gave up and pulled my last one last week (have several on a bench in the basement, rotate 3 tenders among them). Got to ride till the last half of November, usually salted heavy here by then, but it's good and salted now, plus a lot of ice off the main roads. A bit chilly around 40*, but I can dress for that. Northern living does have some disadvantages for riders.

One of the best threads in 2013. Thought there would be more haters though.
