    It was 64° here today. I rode to work at 40°. I can't wait until it actually gets cold. Makes parking much easier.

    Default In the high 70s... snow on the way

    Abnormally warm and dry Fall here but great for some late rides. Had to make a swing through the Wet Mountains with the obligatory stop at Bishops Castle and then pick up some BarBQ at Obie's for dinner. Beautiful day for riding Tuesday with 3 Spyders sighted (yellow RS and black RT I think) on the highway 165 loop from McKenzie Jct to Rye, CO. Quite a few two wheelers enjoying the day as well.

    Bishops Castle is quite a sight to see. I was there several years back and was amazed.
    The temp up here north of Denver got up to 80* so I took a short ryde (okay maybe more than short) just to do some shopping that had to be done.

    I was out on November 13th. It was 10*C (50*F). Rode 150 kms with my heated grips on.
    All I could think of was to get out and enjoy the day before the snow comes.
    We did get a good 4" s a few days later. Now she's tucked away for winter.
    I'm impatient for spring now!
