I love winter, it is 75 and sunny here right now. I just got in from a few hundred mile cruise up the Gulf Coast. Crystal River, Yankee Town, Cedar Key.... Wonderful day to ride.

It got up to 80° in Baton Rouge yesterday, and was in the 70's most of last week, but it's supposed to hit 29° tonight. Typical up-and-down winter syndrome for this part of the country. A front comes through it's cold, then the warmer air from the Gulf blows in and it's nice, and cycles like that all winter. The bad news is that sinuses freak in weather like this coupled with high humidity, but the good news is that we ride year round here.

53* as I type, my hands got a bit cold riding today, but what fun would it be if we couldn't make a little fun of the cold country non riders. I don't miss northern Indiana a bit. Welcome to winter wonderland.
