Here in Buffalo it was about 50 and sunny. Rode down south of the city almost to PA and back. Just about ruined the whole experience by having the Bills game on the radio.

I rode Friday and yesterday in Ohio. It was great, I left about 8am and it was about 40 and returned in the afternoon and it was sunny and about 60. I rode to where I'm goin deer hunting to scout around a bit. It's about 180 mile round trip and I was happy all the way

Pretty much done here too. I always hate to see the riding season come to an end, but Christmas is right around the corner, and Santa might have something to glue on the scoot if I'm lucky.... "The glass is always half FULL!"

My wife and I were out last Saturday too - temp was about 52 degrees. Towards the end of the ride she was cold and wanted to go home. We are expecting snow for Thanksgiving so after they salt the streets riding is over.

It's definitely cooling down. I always try to get a few short rides in before the snow, ice, and salt come. Spring will come fast, but never fast enough though.

put on a couple hundred miles here in ND yesterday it was almost fifty but no wind made it nice. I have a hunch it will be the last ride of the year (maybe).

I just went on the local toy run in 38 degree weather with drizzle.
It wasn't bad but I think my season is over unless a sunny day pops up!!

I'm ready for some winter upgrades anyway

Got the pleasure of riding home in a steady drizzle last night, thanks to the weatherman saying that there was a 10% chance of rain yesterday!! It was actually warmer riding home than it was riding in. I had two small spots of water on my pant legs, and my crotch was wet from the seat gathering water. Off to Hales today before 5:30 for the 10k service.

Only thing that stops me from taking a little ride now and then through the winter is the darn salt on the roads. Sure is nice to get out when its cold and have people look at you like you're an idiot. Come to think about it, I get that look even in the summer. Hummm???
