Don't hate the player. Hate the game! It's you who lives in a climate where you have riding seasons. I'm not making you live there.
I couldn't imagine going that long without riding. I think the longest I've ever went without riding was almost 2 months.

usualy we catch a break in the winter with a few stretches where it sneaks up to decent temps. Aside from yesterday and today it has bareley hit 40 and is usualy in the high 20's and low 30's. Couple that with roads that were utterly atrocious untill all the rain we got last week.
Also my bike is nowhere near rideable. I would need a quasi warm day jsut to get it back together and would like to change the oil but will squeak out a few days if the situation presents itself. tom |

If I layer well, most days are decent enough to ride...around the 40's. But working nights, lately I just haven't fell froggy enough to brave the upper 20's to low 30's even if it's just for a 10 minute ride to work. Hell, it takes me longer to get all those damn layers on than it does for me to ride there.
Last year I did it though. Froze my ass off riding the interstate (had to from the old place) for just a half hour to get to or from work in those temps with no heated gear. Well, that's a bit of exageration. I kept most of my body warm but had problems keeping my hands warm enough. They'd hurt and throb forever it seemed, as they warmed back up. I need some heated grips....

Thats my problem too I am leaving for work before the suns up so its still cold, and am heading home in the dark so it starts getting cold. Some mornings I woke up and was a little tired and just didnt feel like gearing up and riding in the cold. Come th ehotter days of the summer I am sure I iwll be out daily since it will be more comfortable to ride.

Yeah, I'll do it if necessary and have. Lately, it hasn't been necessary.
Hurry up spring and get here!!!! I have one more month left of cold here and it should start warming up enough to ride more frequently.

Wow. We get those at night, but rarely during the day.
