Default This season is driving me NUTS!!!

So this Feb. was extremly cold...minus 20 at times, not alot of snow in the later months of the winter season, but still plenty on the ground. Last week we got about 3-4 days of 40 degree weather which knocked all the snow off the roads, and then last friday got up to 55. So on Friday, i skipped my afternoon classes, walked the bike about a city block of gravel/mudd road, and rode for about 3 hours. I envy you guys that can ride year round. I put mine up in November and got to ride for the first time this season on Friday, and it was awesome. I think its like sex, absence makes the heart grow fonder type of thing heh. Anyway, my gripe is that i woke up this morning to 4-5 inches of snow....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH

Please god just let me RIDE!!

Im done.

I am from Dubuque which is on on the border of IA, IL, and WI. Luckily the first few hours of snowfall it was to warm and didnt stick. It has almost all melted already.

if i hadnt been working today, i would have been out riding. The roads were totally clear, and it was like 38-40 with the sun, so it would have been bareable for me with full gear. But hey, atleast i spend most of my day on roof tops, so i got alittle sun.

Southern California at that. Note the Integra in the background: It left that space on our driveway no more than 3 times up until I sold it to someone in this forum for their racecar. The weather is that good.

I'm so jealous. It was 82 last week here, and this week the low was 29. DC sucks. Maybe I'll go live with the lady in socal. Im getting too old, my joints hurt as it is on cold days/bad humidity.

You Cali's can't leave us Floridian's in the dark, because the last two weeks it's hit the 80's a few times...

The only thing that gets cold lately is my nuts.

To free ballin'
