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.

blowndodge · 12-19-2011, 12:39 AM

143 miles today to Hell's Kitchen for some grub...

moloprintz · 12-19-2011, 08:18 AM

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.
