Default Finally!

Finally, we have a nice day out, best day this year so far here (54°). Hear a lot of bikes out today. I am always tempted to get mine out, but being it is so warm, the salt soaked snow is still melting and laying in spots on the road. I always wait until we have had 2 good spring rains before mine ever sees the light of day in the Spring. How about you?

IronHead-I see you are in Maryland. I'm a little further north (NY) than you and we still have ALOT of snow on the ground. I'm with you-Need two good rain cycles to clean the salt off the road. Even though the roads are down to asphalt, they still salt at night when the runoff freezes. Not getting all that crap stuck on the underside and in the crevices of my bike.

My second February ride today (with tons of snow in between). Not going to let snow melt, salt and sand on the road keep me off the bike.

I'd have been out if I could have gotten it out. Roads were fine. The ~150 feet between my shed and the road, impassable. Ah well.

Please, just remember one thing.

Roads are clear here in Kansas, weather is cold but OK for riding.

Every Spring got a couple of friends who get bit. Nice day, a little rusty from no riding, over adventurous to ride, Sand and salt piled on all the corners! I have been know to get caught up, Hot Shoeing through a couple of close calls.

Enjoy the nice days but be carefull!
