I rode the bike to work today.

You're a cold man Keith (pun intended). I rode Thu., Fri., Sat., and Sun. over the Christmas break. I had to wear long johns and a chin protector the first two days, but the last two were awesome. I rode mostly in the mornings, from about 8:00 a.m. to about 11:00 a.m. on average. Sunday it was in the high 50's I think. Felt like spring (sorry, yanks).

Dwayne Hicks · 12-31-2003, 01:02 AM

I have ridden to work every day. The weather is still hot, and will be until May.

Sorry!

But then even in winter I will be able to ride, as temp is about 10 degrees centigrade in the morning, and up to about 25 at midday, and back down to 10 at night. Once again, I apologise. But then maybe y'all should consider moving out of the North pole!

Regards
Dwayne

Keith · 12-31-2003, 09:24 AM

i rode to work today as well.

Jonathan · 12-31-2003, 09:27 AM

Take advantage of the warm weather. I cant ride right now, due to an injury....

12-31-2003, 02:59 PM

Arrrgh!

Unusually cold with snow and ice in Seattle for the next week. Been off the bike for three days...it's torture!

Happy New Year, All!

**Louis** · 12-31-2003, 06:43 PM

Current temp = 2C (34F)
Wind = 17 km/h W
Gust = 33km/h

Feels like = -5 C (22F)

pitbull76 · 12-31-2003, 09:16 PM

I've taken at least a short ride the last 6 days straight. It's been around 40F or warmer each day, except today. Today was only 38F or so. If I hadn't just gotten the bike a week and a half ago, I might not have gone riding quite as much. It's still just a bit chilly for riding but fun nonetheless.
Weather looks like 40-45 tomorrow and 50F+ on Friday. I'll probably not go out tomorrow cause I'll be out of town, but I'll ride Friday if it isn't raining. BTW, I live an hour outside of Chicago and I've been enjoying the unseasonably mild weather.

The Chad · 12-31-2003, 09:28 PM

I'm one of your buddies up north, and I'm still riding

**Louis** · 01-01-2004, 09:17 AM

That's because your in the southern part of B.C., In the East, the Winter is real.

The Chad · 01-01-2004, 10:36 AM

So, I'm still north, and the winters here are really real. Real nice for going outdoors that is

Jonathan · 01-01-2004, 12:14 PM

How are you guys still riding in those temps that I see on the Weather Channel?

The Chad · 01-01-2004, 12:26 PM

-5 degreese C, that doesn't stop me

themeatmanlandry · 01-02-2004, 08:25 AM

High of 62 F here in Memphis today. Yesterday was in the high 50's I think. I rode for about two hours.

Jonathan · 01-03-2004, 06:15 PM

I guess if you are used to the temps being in that range, you can ride. But here in Florida, no way. It was nearly 80* today and its forecast to be that and higher this week. Wow.

The Chad · 01-03-2004, 06:57 PM

you and your florada weather can just take a hike, I have -2Deg.C and a foot of snow as of thismorning.

pitbull76 · 01-04-2004, 11:54 AM

Well, our nice bit of weather around Chicago ended abruptly yesterday. We are now having our fist significant snow, and last I saw it's not going to break past freezing this week.

pitbull76 · 01-04-2004, 04:46 PM

This is what it looks like at home today. Guess I won't be riding for awhile. It's going to be in the teens the next couple of days as well.

Jonathan · 01-04-2004, 11:41 PM

Wow...that is some snow coverage. I wanna see and play in that before the snow season is over. Trying to plan out a place to go in the next couple of weeks.

We have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, its dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hey, psycho, we're not getting back together. Now get out of my Van Halen t-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.
