Default New record!!!

last year the first ride was March 7, this year I was determined to beat that so today I went out and man was it cold but I beat last year by one day...March 6 yahooo!
Everyone at work thinks I'm crazy and maybe there right but I just had to do it.
High today was -4C or about 25F.
Man...did that feel good, it has been since November 20 since I last saddled up.

We have way too much snow on the ground and there calling for another 10-25cm tomorrow, Great lakes snow effect really sucks. Has anyone noticed that winter starts later in the year and spring is the same. i don't expect to get out until at least April.
