Default Georgia Info Needed

Hello guys & gals. I need info on typical Georgia weather in late December early January. My wife has family out there that she hasn’t seen in about 3 years. She wants to go back for Christmas & new years this year so I can finally meet them all.

I'm thinking about trailering my bike out so I can do some riding while we are there for the 2 weeks. We ride year round in Arizona but not sure about you Georgia guys.

Do you guys ride in the winter or is it too cold? Does Georgia require helmets? Anything else I need to know about Georgia?

Thanks in advance.

Could be 25, could be 75. Could be snow, could be late spring like.

Bring the bike, bring your leathers and enjoy the North GA mountains!

Those with the crystal ball say it will be a ball busting winter this year. Since the City of Roses is so close to the Florida line I highly doubt you will miss any riding time. It could be brisk at times though. Ride'm

Florida has no brain bucket law... So if you ride 15 miles south you can store it.

Surprise, AZ...Got an old friend out there that owns a drag strip if he is still alive, we used to drive out from LA and bracket race at his track.
As others have said no telling on the winter months down here but most likely you can gets some riding in that far down.
Best to just keep an eye out and see what it is closer to your trip.
Hard driving from your site is 3+ days, with a trailer maybe 4, and one and a half days across TX without any weather problems.
You got a straight shot right across I-10 though. Beautiful country but a boring *** ride on the interstate.
Not as wide open and easy to see where you're going and where you been back here and lots more traffic on the road per square mile so a lid might be a good choice no matter what the state law (just my humble opinion speaking from riding experience in both locations). Pretty flat down in South GA but some good riding just the same, would have to come north 4-5 hours for mountain twisties if that is what you're looking for.
