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?
I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I couldn't ride year round...I have many friends in snow area's and they are also chompin at the bit to get out..
We have some cold days here but for the most part I ride daily...Hope you get out soon..
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.
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.
