Anyone up for a ride - At least the roads are still clear
« on: October 21, 2007, 10:45:56 AM »
Can't wait for the World Series next weekend!!

And to think it wasn't that long ago that I was riding in the desert.

Now that's a depressing scene.:( A balmy 78F here, great weather for a ride, but it was quite windy and gusty while I was out and not sure how much longer the mild weather is going to last.

Okay, lets synchronize watches.  I'll head out 11AM Monday on the winding back roads.  We can compare ride results!
 ;D

Wife saw the picture and said oooo neat! (Native San Franciscan ::) )

I saw the picture and said awwwhhhh sh!t.  That scene was precisely why I never wanted to move back to Illinois.  Did Denver get that too?  Are heated garages/barns common there?  How long will you be house bound?

Cheers,

TT,

Just ignore Terry CB650. He has a flat tire anyway  :D. Just wait until he needs electrical help  ;) I expect this kind of weather and I enjoy it. Snow shoveling (didn't need to) is ok to a certain point (about 2+ feet). I didn't have this beautiful weather or climate my first 48 years.

It was 75 degrees yesterday and 60 degrees last night at 9:00 (so there Bob  :) )and 35 degrees within about 30 minutes. Strong cold front. Unless there's 2+ feet on the roads there's no reason to stay home. 4+ inches now and sun came out. The south part of town probably got rain if anything. We are at 6800+ feet. Don't know about Denver. Roads clear. Beautiful. Yeah, we'll probably be riding on New Year's Day. 12 month riding season here! Seriously!

I could heat my attached garage but the residual heat from the house and the fact that I put up insulation means I've never seen freezing in it. If I want to do some work I just turn on a space heater. At least the beer stays cold without refrigeration ;D

Yep, snowed in Denver today too, but I still rode to work because I knew it would all be melted by the time I got off at 2:30pm, and it was (at least the streets were clear).  It was 80 degrees yesterday, so the ground was too warm for anything to stick for too long.

I've never lived in any of the northern states, but from what I've seen and from what my wife tells me (she grew up in Vermont), snow in this part of Colorado is absolutely nothing like up there.  For the most part, any snow we get is usually gone within a couple of days, especially on the roads.  My first Winter here, and my first ever snow storm, we got a foot of snow on a Sunday, I was off work that Sunday and Monday, and I rode my bike to work on Tuesday morning on dry roads.  With the exception of last Winter, I've been able to ride my bikes at least once a week all year long.

We only saw a few flakes.  Had to take the dogs up above town so they could have at what little snow there is so far.

I am not looking forward to it. I need to get out of here when I go to grad school. I've had enough of this winter business.


I feel your pain!
