Default 1st ride of the season.

BURRR I just took my bike out for alittle spin around town. its 32 degrees out with alittle wind. sure was cold on the face. I couldnt help myself, I had the itch to take her out for a ride. all in all i think shes running pretty good for being cold out.

Being from the north I completly understand the itch. Its amazing we would think 32 is warm enough for ride. But winter is long and cold

Hopefully we are in the homestretch for cold weather

Glad you got a ride in. It'll be about 40F tonight when I head in to work. A little brisk but I've gotten used to the 20-40F rides this winter.

The coldest I go out is 38° with a forecast of something better later on.

Im usually back on the road by now, meaning March, but this winter has really torn up the roads bad.

Lets see what next week brings.

been riding for the last few days. It's been about +4c here, bu tI have to ride at 7 in the morning and 8 at night, so it's never really that warm when I go. Still nice though

I saw 48 degrees when I got back from my 2008 inaugural ride, so then I went for a walk (splash) with my family. I didn't wear a jacket. What a day!
