Bunch of Wusses
Yes, I know it was 41 degrees this morning in the Shenandoah Valley; I was there, two others from another board were there, and we rode, turned on the grip heaters and made a lot of hot coffee stops (and associated bladder breaks) and rode much of the back roads around Catoctin State Park ( http://www.nps.gov/cato/ ). and managed to find some of the gnarliest, switchbackin', high-speed-low-drag, up-and-down-de-mountain roads I've been on in a while (you suckers that live near the Gap, shut-up).
Ya'll shoulda been there.... Bunch 'a leakers......... |

Well, that's what I got today. Not riding anywhere. Forget about the house project, pouring rain and wind is plenty to keep me inside.

I rode when it was 16 degrees out with NO heat grips(Though I have them now FTW!!!). I was out for about an hour and looks like the Michelin man rolling down the road(Despite I was on a Avon and Pirelli)
Other than the wind in my area everything was nice. The Gap was nice and the Georgia MOuntains where nice. The best part is because everyone was wussin out becuase of the weather the roads were pretty much abandoned(In GA atleast) with no cops in sight.
