Chilly Ride
« on: January 15, 2014, 07:35:10 AM »
17* this morning coming in to work. I do normally ride all season so that's not a big deal. My Fog City visor freezing is a tad irritating but I know how to deal with it having been there many times.

I pulled up to the light to make the turn towards work and looking left before turning, what do I see? Another rider in the left turn lane.

Well, someone else on a bike in cold weather. :thumbsup:

We are out there :)

Ride safe.

Carl

Lucky! Temps were okay for me, but ice conditions required 4WD to get home and to work.

It snowed yesterday and from the snow Saturday, there's still ice on my street. Just makes riding the 'busa a bit more fun :D

I was planning a local spin but at 6:30 this morning the salt/sand truck put a fresh layer on everything.

Nope.

43 degrees though.

I was a tad surprised at the number of bikes I saw out yesterday - 3 IIRC... Snow was melt'n and roads were clear/dry aside from occasional wetness.

Monday I saw 3 cruisers, one very old bmw and myself. Temps started at 25 and climbed into the upper forties. Beautiful day.

I usually get out at night for a ride these days and haven't seen another bike in ages.
