Default Last Ride of Season - Perhaps

So glad I did not put her to bed. Weather up hear in the Great White North has turned unseasonably warm. Got out today for short ride. Started at 10C (50F) and saw 21C (70F). Supposed to be the same tomorrow, if it is I will head out for the day. Man retirement sure beats working at this time of the year (or any time for that matter)

Here in Northern Minnesota, I've taken my bike to work up until today... Snow is scheduled on Friday though, so I'm waiting for my tire studs.... Actually, opening weekend of deer season starts this week and I don't think I can carry one home on my RKC. I'll have to take the cage.

I'm a teacher, and will drive my scoot to school until the snow flies. I'm expecting to drive her to school some morning and leave at 4pm to find 4" of snow.....

So where is the great white North? Still pretty nippy in Montana. And the snow and rain don't help much....

I probably went for my last ride of the year today, crappy weather and a cold front moving in as we speak here in Nebraska. Supposed to be cold all week and will probably stay that way. Cleaned her up, filled her up, raised her up and covered her up. Sad, sad day!
