Re:Who is still riding? 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
I rode yesterday at about 30 degrees with snow flurries here in southeastern PA. Took the long way to the grocery store, stopping for gas along the way.

It was cold, but I didn't have my blizzard suit on, just long johns and tennis shoes and a leather jacket. With my cold weather suit on and boots I'm pretty comfy down to the 20's, my hands being the limiting factor. I'm wearing snowmobiling gloves I bought at the Victory/Polaris dealer.

I'm determined to keep her going year round! It's good for my soul to know I'm just a heartbeat away from a good ride should I need it

Didn't ride today, but clocked about 70 miles last night: 31 degrees F with 15 mph winds....so according to that chart someone shared, it was a brisk -21F on my way home last night at 70 mph around the Beltway. Yeeehawwwwww!

When I saw "Beltway" it caught my attention... My girlfriend is from Kensington! Moved her back here to Green Bay when I retired from Pax River.. southern MD, and she's not a SMIB

Re:Who is still riding? 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
Rode to work this morning, had to zip may jacket half way up and wear gloves with fingers.. I think it was about 60 out and will get up to 75. We have to celebrate now, because when all you Yankees are taking those nice rides in the summer we are fighting heat stroke and bringing extra shirts to change when we stop somewhere. Every place has its challenges, and I miss riding in the mountains most of all

76 here in north Texas today. Just got back from a 100 mile trip about an hour ago. Wind was terrible though, it wore me out. No windshield.

I once lived in Lewisville off the N. Valley Parkway. Had my fair share of ice storms, snow and frozen overpasses driving into Dallas.
