Really feel for you guys in the frozen north.  Nice sunny high of 74 F. here today.  More like 50's in the morning riding to work. Light jean jacket weather.  Put about 30 miles on the X both today and yesterday.  Gorgeous Weather!   8)

Guess what??
Today, Saturday 12/31...
Sunny, no wind and supposed mid 40's!!
All the rain washed away the salt yesterday.
I can't believe this weather!

Guess what I'm doing this afternoon!
And all you lucky guys in the south and southwest, lets keep the thread going until, say, August...

35 today and got a call from my neighbor with a BMW to go for a ride. Got out for 1 hour. Supposed to be snow and ice late tonight, so glad we got in another ride.

So whoa is me...

Cold & snow followed by cold & snow...

Actually, this winter has been relatively mild here in SE Wisconsin.
Little snow and the up coming week is supposed to be above freezing for the highs all week.
Still can't ride in the slop.

Can't do anything but work on my new sohc project.
So what are my brethren in the south & SW doing now?
I'm starved for riding so please post up some pictures of you riding in the sunny south...please?

Hey Dave, we should get a group to go up to RA.. I know me and  few buddies plan to go.  If you want to join you are more then welcome.

That would make 2 SOHC's there!
