Default I am one DEFIANT S.O.B.!

Today is Wed. Feb 15th. A few days ago, here in NYC, we had 26+ inches of snow. On top of that, I had a high fever. Needless to say, I was miserable.
Well, today I venture outside, and to my left I see a clean, dry road that led right to the nearest parkway. This was in addition to the balmy 52 degree temp.

All I can is.....after looking out my window on Sunday, and seeing over 2 feet of snow, I never could have imagined enjoying a trip on the RK today.

What a score!

Man, your weather has been wierd this year! My son & daughter live on the upper west side -- they called and said it felt like the Crystal Mt. ski area during the storm, and now they're in just windbreakers. I doubt you're finished with winter quite yet....

Take what you can get and ride safe!

Took it around the block a few times today here in balmy NJ. Might take it to work tomorrow. The temp is supposed to be in the 50's. the only thing I'm worried about is the salt on the roads. Not looking to pit the wheels.
