Time to hibernate. 68* here in Oklahoma, very humid, cold front coming. I've ridden on New Year's Day to Springdale, Arkansas for lunch......bundled-up of course, but it's do-able here in the Heartland. Our mild Winters are polarized by our scorching Summers.

Enjoy your nap!

Gee, 4" of snow ov'night here, but by Sunday the forecast (50 and dry roads) will have us back riding. C'mon Gary, don't give up yet! Like, you gotta go out and harvest some Iowa corn or something?
