Is this your winter ride?

I used to bike it to work during the nicer months. not so great on a hot day as you get a bit sweaty but night rides are great!

I feel your pain. Thats how our summer was here. The common thought was "what summer?" We struggled to get past 70 degrees, even in august.

We hit 90 and a 100 a couple times this year. But I actually prefer the cooler weather. 55 degrees at near sea level makes engines happy :)
