Withdrawal
So, are any of you northerners having really bad riding withdrawals right now?
I'm sitting here all jumpy and ADD, and realize I want to ride really bad right now.... and then I look outside and the snow is coming down even harder. This sucks....

I'm not up north and I'm having withdrawal! We still have ice on some roads, since it warmed up yesterday, got sunny today, melted the snow, and refroze over night. And it's going into the teens tonight so more ice tomorrow morning, high of 32 but sunny so it'll dry off some more areas. The bad thing is the back roads with lots of shady areas. It'll be gone soon though, supposed to get rain and 40-50's first of the week so that'll take care of it. Then I just need some warm days.
I'd shoot myself if I lived up north and couldn't escape! |

I'll just go up to my dad's farm, fire up the quads, go ride those for a little bit and that will get my riding fix for a little while.
I'll get antsy come late Feburary when I have all these parts that I ordered laying around the house.

Usually i just ride through teh winter, but this year has been a series of crappy little shit storms that have left behind a fine layer of sand, salt and ice everywhere that makes riding real crappy.

Oh definately having withdraws... I tend to make due by wrenching on the bikes or other house projects. Things that I don't want to do when I can ride. Hence my latest threads.
