Smile Finally a break

Looks like we got a good week coming here in NC. 24 F this morning warming up to high 50's. Three bikes in the parking lot at work and look's like we can ride all week.
After the winter we have had around here it's about time. I know our winter has been much better than that of some of our northern brothers but as bad as I hate to say it woo hoo for us!

Same here in Missouri Bro! Was 57 yesterday, got the bike out and rode into town filled her up with 93 octane at the 66 station and bought a valentines day card at Sears for the Wife. It was a great day for a ride. Couldn't go far cause the pastor didn't let us out until 12 and had to be back by 5 to play music.
All this week the low temps are projected to be higher than our high temps were for the last month!!
Spring is right around the corner, course we don't know how long the block is

We finally get warm enough temps to ride in this week (hi 30's to low 50's) & my bike is in pieces! Still a lot of snow around so the roads will probably be wet from melting, anyway. Phew!

34 days 'til SPRING!!!! Not that I'm counting.

After two weeks of record cold and record snow in Oklahoma, we road in 70 degree weather all day yesterday. Still seemed a little chilly in Enid (Northern OK), but it was a great ride.
