Yea dude, Rub it in...

Your lucky, The weather here sucks,, haven't seen the sun all month I don't think. I rode my new bike 38 miles last week in about 35* weather... and I was pretty thrilled about that! (it was early evening, after 5pm)

Glad you got to ride, and enjoy tomorrow if you go!

On a whim, I got out and about for 75 miles in this afternoon myself. The temps were in the 40's, but the humidity was pretty high earlier in the day, so it just didn't feel warm enough to ride.

Eventually, I felt that urge...Damn did it feel good to get out too. (gotta ride when ya can in CO, cuz who knows what lurks around the bend weather-wise!)

I'm working 6 days a week right now, but I was able to get a short ride in this afternoon after I got home. It was chilly, but it felt good. I didn't get a single bug on the shield.

Default Riding today

The temp was almost 60 degrees but only for an hour or so before it dropped back down again. I got in 101.4 miles in 2 hours riding with the new apes. It's going to be a while (10 days+) before the temp gets over 40 again. We all keep hoping for an early spring. Where is Al Gore and all his global warming?
