Be careful Brick. Chris Parker told me today that a friend of his low sided on some sand/salt residue just off the parkway a day or so ago. We’ve still got ice in spots up here, and lots of left over salt. No matter how warm it gets I’m going to wait until after a good rain cleans off the roads, before I get out and ride.Yea it’s warmer down here just off the Mtns anyway.

Whoa! Talk about great weather!! We actually saw 68 degrees today! And a special ride for me because I didn’t have (to lead! [THUMBS UP SIGN] Lee, Marc, Todd, Scott and I rode out of the Gate station shortly after 10:30am! Lee had created a route for his gps and so I happily dropped to the back of the pack. It’s so cool from the back as you can see the “dance” as the line of bikes lean into the curves! Lee led us on a nice route over to Fletcher, NC where we are at Johnny Mac’s Lowcountry Grill and BBQ. Yummy! After lunch an excellent choice of twisting roads. We came back by way of Halfway Hardware and Old 18. Lee thanks for leading us on a great ride today!

Oh, I guess I should tell you where we are. Viking Cruise from LA to Panama through canal, and to Ft. Lauderdale, FL for 18 days. Many shore stops along the way. The ATV rides were in Cabo San Lucas, out in the sand and dry river bed along the ocean also. And Denise did not pass me once, she decided to follow. Something about wanting to watch if I crashed. But it didn't happen to me.
Much warmer than it has been the past few day in Minnesota.
Is it summer yet?

We rode Honda ATV's 2 days ago and it was in the upper 70's all day. The past few days it has been also in the 80's night a day, and humidity coming tomorrow.Very Cool!

I had hopes of riding some yesterday and today. Then it rained over 6" from yesterday morning through this morning. It finally stopped early a.m. and the sun came out. Then another band of showers came through dumping another inch or 2 of rain. It's not snow, but I'm not inclined to ride in that much rain if not necessary.Agree Geoffrey, riding to get a destination in bad weather is one thing, or even while at an event and not wanting to waste the chance. But at home, for a local pleasure ride, I wouldn't be going out in the rain either. We had some wicked freezing rain last night, surfaces outside are pretty slippery, or so I hear....work from home means not having to go anywhere most days of the week.
I figure February is almost over, riding season should return in a few weeks. But if they keep salting roads I'll wait until it washes off.
