Ride whenever, wherever we can. 102+ yesterday and you're right, didn't meet nearly as many bikes as usual. Stayed home today only because grand-daughter (1yo) is here!

I ride for recreation, not transportation.&nbsp\\; If I don't have to ride in the rain, I don't.&nbsp\\; The heat don't bother me.

Bikes all I have.&nbsp\\;I have rode in 28 degrees (that is about as cold as it gets around here).&nbsp\\;It also got rode right into Tropical Storm Barry.&nbsp\\;That was the first two months we had it. Momma even had to ride with me since she was on dayshift on one of the 28 degree days. Tstorms too many to count. Wore out a wallyworld rain suit, got a HD one now that has already been through 20 storms in two months!

I ride when I want, how I want, and for as long as I want. Don't give 2 chits what anyone thinks about how/when/why I choose to ride.

I won't ride if it's raining, and I won't ride if it's above 100.

If that makes me "fair weather", then so be it. I've got nothin to prove to anyone, ever.
