Rode the first day of the year!

**wompus** · 01-01-2011, 06:28 PM

Rain came in full force this morning.....but finally left the area around 5:00PM. :-[
I had to, just had to get on the bike and head out for a few dozen miles! No rain, but spray from the wet road and all the other vehicles on the road has made a mess out of my ride.

Damn, did it feel great!!! Temp was around the low 50's, damp and real foggy, but it didn't stop me!

Good for you Mike. We got in a 180 mile ride today in freezing 75 degree, with a wind chill of 68 and this bright yellow ball in the sky. :)

It rained here all morning. Rodes were still wet this afternoon so I decided since I rode yesterday I wouldn't ride today. Glad you guys got a ride in.

Our circle is pretty snowy, a neighbor with a camero has a hard time getting out.... 4 foot piles of snow next to the driveway, someone please pray for sunshine!

We had rain all day yesterday with a high of 50, pretty unusual for around here. This morning all the snow is totally gone, but its dropped back down to 22. At least the roads are dry and I' may be able to get out later on today.

The weather has been clear and cold at night warming up to about 6*-8* C. during the day. If it wasn't for this dang knee I would be out riding as well. Dressed warmly though.
