Last Ride of Season???
« on: December 06, 2009, 02:30:22 PM »
So they are predicting 1-3 inches tonight and 4-8 on Wednesday. So I did get a 40 mile ride in before the 29 degrees got my hands cold. And this was on the Wing. Roads are still snow and ice free so I figure I better get out there before this weather moves into WI.

Good for you. ;D

I went out friday for a shrot ride (34F), and saterday got hit with snow. :-\

Not putting it up for the winter yet as I believe we're going into a heatwave, heck it
must be at least 18F out right now. ;D
peace,

View from the window this morning...outside temp was 29F....





My driveway and garage (one of the white doors anyway)...





And out on the road...temps were higher - 35F. Snow melting on the main roads...dicy on the side roads in Boston.




Danger of black ice in the morning so looks like I wont be riding to work  :-\
