20 degrees I am usually okay with long underwear along with my Gerbings gloves and foot liners. Jacket will be next. At least you got to ride. I am 700 miles from my bike working away from home....

Was mid fifties couple of days back, cut the ride short as they were already spraying brine on the streets in anticipation of the "big" winter event that's supposed to begin tomorrow. If it turns out to be the biggest storm of the year we'll be lucky, again. Is supposed to be sub zero in a couple of days, now that's colder than i like to ride. LOL, Dennis

Went to DFW this weekend in the cage. Visited my parents and the wife's mom. We left Greenville at 8:00 am to light snow. Arrived in Houston where it had just rained a little in the early morning. I was able to get in about 40 miles before dark. You folks in the Midwest have got rough winters. Glad you were able to put some miles on the scoot. I wish you an early spring.
