Default Shivering in Chicago

Either I'm shivering or going through riding withdrawal here in Chicago area. It's still in the 20s and salt on roads really bites. Think it's withdrawal. Ride safe you souther brothers ride safe.

Shivering, yes. And it feels extra cold today at 20 degrees (which, considering what we've had so far, is actually pretty damn toasty). Heck, I was out riding last week in the upper 20's and feeling fine (if not a little chilly). But tonight I can barely stand outside and have a smoke without freezing my eyeballs.

heck i moved from colorado to oklahoma to get away from winter. this year it didn't work. but give it a week and i'll be riding again, knock on fiberglass. i can't imagine living in minnesota or worse yet, canada. if we lived in canada we'd all have to learn how to speak canadian, "eh" .as soon as the easter bunny pokes his head out of the groundhogs hole, we''ll know spring is about to pop. i'd hate to be that groundhog though. i'm bummed with it being around 20 degrees too.
