Default Damn, I miss the riding season...

It's like, what do I do with my life outside of work and drinking booze. I'm so bored. Unforunately none of my bikes are street legal. I hate riding street anyways. Anyone else feel my pain?

Can't wait until Feb. 5th.

I would be going crazy too if the weather here was that bad. Getting out to ride is what gets me through the week. The local canyon roads were wet and cold this weekend. Not much sun out, yet despite some of the turns being in the shadows they weren't icy. Needless to say it was good experience riding in the wet. Eventually it will get cold enough for ice to form and that's when I bust out the PS2 and MotoGP4/ TT.

What's with the high and mighty judgement lately? So what if somebody's life is different than yours? I, for one, am not trying to acheive goals remotely similar to yours. A lot of other folks aren't, either.

*edit* I might have misread your comment. If I did, consider the above rescinded.

I might have to start driving to work, its getting cold here in the morning and at night. Its not so cold that I can't ride but its a hassle to change out of windbreakers when I get into the office and put em back on when I leave.

Here in San Diego - it might get 40 to 50 degrees at night and normally stays over 60 degrees in the day in the winter. I ride 365 days a year - i rode my bike to work today!

I have nothing worthwhile to contribute.

But yeah, how cold DOES it get in Texas? The NOVA offseason is less than 4 months, usually.

3 weeks ago I was wearing a T shirt in NYC. Back at home it was ~50.

We dont get snow (much) but we do get sub zero and more to the point unlike you lavender boys over there actually ride around in it
