Rode on new years day at 10*, made me wish i had heated gloves. Its -10* F today in the metro detroit area, and frankly it was almost too cold to drive in a car

I want to ride too, but that is to cold for me. That's dedication or something like that.

-17 this morning with a high of 3. I'm getting ready to shoot holes in my fridge just for fun. Cabin fever is a real pain.

My truck displayed 18 below zero during my drive to work today. Wind chill of 40 below! For now, sitting on my bikes in the garage is the closest I'm coming to riding!

Everyone told me that I wouldn't ride in this morning. I HAD to prove them wrong. It's supposed to be 5-7* (depending on which TV station you want to believe) tommorow. I was going to ride to the store a couple miles down the road just to say I did, but I'm rethinking it now! But I ride in any weather, only put around 200 miles on my truck since last April. Got the new Ultra mid-September and have 6200 miles so far.

Did 42 miles to work this morning at about 19 to 20 degrees. Glad I had a heated jacket in addition to the heated gloves!! Was quite toasty overall.

9 degrees in Connecticut today.
My bikes apart and it's too cold to put it back together, never mind ride it.
