It is about 70° today, so I rode up to a local bar for some buffalo wings for lunch about 15 miles r/t. Very comfortable in a hoody, light gloves and half helmet.

It got to about 60 degrees here today so rode the Nomad to the store. It was only a 3 mile ride, but it was a ride. I had things to do or I would have ridden a lot further. Tomorrow it should hit 70 and I plan a much longer ride.

It wasn't bad here today, it stayed dry and clear so I finally took the bike out for a short ride to see how it runs. I did about three miles and other than something not quite right in the forks it ran well.

It's been raining here for the past 2 days! The Mrs. and I just got back from dinner and a little gift shopping and it is freaking pouring in Chandler. Supposed to be like this all week.

It got to about 70 today and took a short ride of 8 miles. Been spending all my spare time working on my outside Christmas Tree. We also expect rain tomorrow Tom.

Temperatures were very nice today and I didn't have anything to do so I went for a nice 80 miles ride. Temperatures were in the mid 40's to start and were around 50 for the high. Good thing as there is a chance of snow tomorrow.

Not today, but yesterday I rode over to North Scottsdale where my son is working at a tree lot to deliver some stuff to him. 90 miles round trip, just beating the latest storm front moving into the area. when I left home it was about 65 degrees and had dropped 10 degrees by the time I returned home.

25 when we started out.
But in the low 50s by early afternoon Sunday. We did over 200 miles twisting around the hills of the Tennessee River Valley. |

That wasn't the point I was trying to make. It wasn't cold, but a cold front was coming in and the temperature dropped 10 degrees in about an hour and a half.

We get those out here. Last spring it was nearly 80 degrees at sunset and by 9pm it was 49. Talk about thunderstorms. I beat them home though.
