Had to "walk" the bike out of the driveway cause of the 1/4 inch of snow that fell last night but what the heck.
35 degrees on the way to work.....spit froze to my teeth ...couldn't stop smiling.

Way to go Vin, That first ride after the winter layover is always a great feeling. Usually a cold feeling but great just the same.
I took my first yesterday. Only a mile but a sign of things to come.
Of course it snowed 2" last night but it won't be long now http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif
I sure am glad you guys are getting to crank it up again. I lived in snow country for four years and was always looking for a way to get out and ride as soon as possible. I never was good at riding ice roads and snow covered hills though. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!!!!!!

I rode to the club today and can really tell the difference with the proper air in my tires as opposed to Saturday.

Super!!! I just got mine out yesterday and put 40 miles on her. Today they forecast 7 inches of snow which is falling now. Guess I'll have to wait at least a week before I get her out again with the weather they've forecast.
Hey, what's up with you guys? Haven't you heard of global warming? Why is New Hampshire having a 100 year record snowfall this year? You guys need to read the news more!!

SNOWING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTF... I am sooooooo tired of this stuff. At least I got to ride the other day.
Yes, new Hampshire is almost going to break the 100+ year record for snowfall in a season.
A record I don't really care about.
