We are going to have 50s come this Monday. If its dry, I'll probably get the bike out for a couple of miles to clean the cobwebs out.

It warmed up into the upper 40's today, but the weather varied from sunny to pouring rain. I saw a few bikes out on the road today, but mine is staying in the garage for a few more weeks...

We had some beautifully warm weather here in the foothills today. Must have got up around 65. I took the M50 out for about a 65 miler to match the temperature! I mostly rode back mountain roads and had to be careful with some of the wet roads down in the hollers that still had some sand on them from the recent freeze last week. Nonetheless it was a great ride. Tomorrow it's supposed to hit 70, so hopefully if our weather people are correct I'll get another unseasonably warm ride in.

It reached 61º here on Maryland's Eastern Shore yesterday, went out for a short 8 - 10 mile ride....Had to get back and start dinner (roast duck)....

Looked at my rear tire and nitoced spider cracks near the lip of the rim, looks like a new tire come early spring. The previous owner said he replaced that tire??? The bike is always garaged kept?? Anyway, I bought a new front tire when I bought the bike, I should have replaced the rear too.......

Hopfully I can get more riding in, 2008.........

Suppose to be 65º today!! but I'm stuck at work!!!

ride safe!!!

About 75 degrees both yesterday and today in sunny SoCal.

I spent yesterday at a trackday and shaved 5 seconds off of my lap time
