ya, I gotta shovel the snow from my garage door so I can get my bike out, then do the maintenance and put on all the goodies I've been buying for it

Ohh I know what you are going through, I picked up my M in january...... No major accumulations till the day my wife told me I could have the bike. Then it opened up, we recieved over three feet worth of snow in my area, and the tempratures dropped down to 0F. Then I slip and fall on some ice at work and injur my back and Dr tells me I cant ride if I want a back that will heal! So Feb 6 I was ordered off..... Bright skys opened up..... temprature went up to 40+F and I was stuck inside with an injured back.... staring at the fun to be had. Then I got cleared yesterday..... and today I got out and rode a couple of clicks...... Forcast for the next 10 days..... SNOW!!!! UGH! I just wannta ride!!

Down here in Texas I get a chance to ride a few times a week in the winter. Today should be 50 or so in the Dallas area but we have had some 65-75 degree days the past few weeks. The punishment for these days is the 105 degree summer days along with many with 20 plus mile an hour wind days. I think I'll ride to work today.

Here in beautiful western Massachusetts it's about 20 degrees and snowing, this has been like a nuclear winter, started in November and won't give up, just when it looks like there is a chance to get out, eerrrnnnttt not happening. I would of taken a 30 min ride in 23 degree temps, well I'm still somewhat optimistic that this too will end. All of you guys who are riding, YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!

It's supposed to be around 65 all weekend. I'll definitely be out and about.

26 degrees with snow and freezing rain here in western Pennsylvania. Dang groundhog and his six more weeks of winter. You're not going to find me out for a ride until it hits 50. Last time I went for one at 40 degrees I thought my legs were going to freeze to the tank.

Fortunately for me, I moved to the midwest late last summer. If not for the fine Dunlop snow tires and Sears tire chains, I'd have never gotten to ride my bike this winter!
