I'm up near Woodstock, Il.

Winter sux.

My wife and I were laughing about how we could bring one bike at a time from the garage into the house, wheel it into the kitchen on the vinyl floor, and wash and detail them.

Last week I trailered the bike to Florida. A little cool yesterday but I managed 50 miles. Warming today so I will ride a bit more. Florida is a great place in the winter!

I'm staying just outside Eustis. Maybe 20 miles from Leesburg. Off CR 44. I usually stop at Kickstands for a beer everyday.

It is actually supposed to be winter weather here in Tucson the next two days, yuck!! Good thing I rode down to Tombstone Sunday for lunch at Big Nose Kate's! Back out for a ride by Saturday hopefully. I feel bad for you all in the cold northern climates, hope it thaws out soon and it is a mild winter so you can get out and ride although mild winters just gives the farmers something to complain about.
