Hoping everyone is taking advantage of this mild December

Thought that the riding season was over but this past weekend, we got a nice surprise here in Kentucky. Mild temps allowed us to get out and ride around Lake Cumberland. Hope each of you were able to get some extra rides in also!

I got In about 200mi this weekend here In the Buckeye state, I think It's about over for this year..

**TimC** · 12-14-2015, 01:07 PM

I rode 110 miles on Dec. 12th. Who would have thunk it?!

**pegasus1300** · 12-14-2015, 01:25 PM

What "mild December"? It is 30* here and snowing like there's no tomorrow. I woke up to 8" in the drive way shoveled that off and had 2" more by the time I was done. The snow was coming down so fast that the heated sidewalks at work couldn't keep up with it. Winter is here and looks like it is going to stay for awhile. Pictures to follow.

**wengerda** · 12-14-2015, 01:27 PM

This past weekend I rode with my buddies 245 miles in Northern Virginia, and Southern Maryland.

**Bob Denman** · 12-14-2015, 01:46 PM

We had rain today...

But I DID ride yesterday!!

**bronzeflex42** · 12-14-2015, 02:10 PM

Got a two county ride in this past weekend. Temps in the 70s here in Gawga..

**SpyderAnn01** · 12-14-2015, 02:30 PM

No mild weather in the southwest. We rode to Mesa, AZ on Saturday for a party and it was a bit chilly. We had to scrape ice off our bike seats on Sunday morning. Brrrrr.

I'm going to blame our cold snap on AKSpyderman who is coming to town today. Last time he came to Las Vegas in December he brought similar weather with him.

**Bob Denman** · 12-14-2015, 02:42 PM

He sent his weather on ahead, so that he could be comfortable?

**Darren111** · 12-14-2015, 04:36 PM

Still riding at weekends here in the UK. People do say to me don't you get cold and wet? My response is I wrap warm and I bought the spyder knowing that I will get wet and cold. However I will not ride in the snow, on ice and salt grit roads.

**Bob Denman** · 12-14-2015, 05:58 PM

If they ask you if you get cold; just tell them that riding the Spyder warms your heart!

**Sam Mac** · 12-14-2015, 06:51 PM

Did about 180 miles Saturday, rained today so I played with a brake extension for my RT. Hope to try it out tomorrow. Looks like maybe a couple more days of short rides the next few days then it is supposed to get cold. I'm just happy for the extended season considering that I just bought my RT last week. If I get another 1-200 miles on it before putting it away for the winter I'll be a happy boy.

**kngfsh27** · 12-14-2015, 08:22 PM

I rode three days last week. Then we got almost two inches of rain Saturday night through last. Now the bottom is falling out and our highs are in the low forties. May be done now till March. Depends on when they finally put salt/sand on the road.

**Ron2andia** · 12-14-2015, 08:30 PM

Rode what i think is my last one today.... Put in the Sta bil and with cover the pipe and put the tender on tomorrow.... Only had it 2 weeks but was a blast so far.

**Saluda** · 12-15-2015, 07:22 AM

Figures, this is the first year in a while that I reduced the insurance coverage to save a couple of bucks so the good weather has been no real advantage to my riding.
It's also raising heck with our upcoming sled season.

**Bob Denman** · 12-15-2015, 08:07 AM

I'm riding today...

**Trekster** · 12-15-2015, 08:23 AM

We just had about two days of solid rain... not real heavy thunder-boomer rain, but constant light rain and fog. Now a couple of the major waterways are out of their banks and causing some lowland flooding. Next we get a few days of normal temps with highs only in the low and mid 30s.

I am jealous of y'all that are still riding.

...but glad some can enjoy some miles in this mild December.

**den1953** · 12-15-2015, 08:35 AM

I put over 120 miles on over the weekend just doing short local rides. It rained nearly all day yesterday but will stay dry today so I might take one more local run before topping off the gas tank for cold storage. It's supposed to be more like winter here this coming weekend temperature-wise but no snow.

**rtotten** · 12-15-2015, 01:05 PM

15 inches of snow yesterday. 4 more last night. Moving to the Southwest in the Spring! I hate snow!

**Sam Mac** · 12-15-2015, 04:48 PM

I've done more ridding this month than I have in the last couple years. Just bought an almost new 2014 RT Limited and I'm lovin it. Anyway looks like tomorrow the 16th may be about the end of the riding season for me. Hope the weather guessers are wrong and we get some more global warming. 50 degrees and up and I'm going riding.

**Bob Denman** · 12-15-2015, 06:54 PM

50? If it's above freezing, and there's no salt on the roads: the Spyder gets some exercise!

**900Dave** · 12-15-2015, 07:10 PM

A cool weekend is in the forecast and then back up in the 50's right before Christmas. The wife is off all next week & I only work on Monday the 21st. Looks like some more riding before the holiday.

I lived in CT for 59 years so I get it about anything above 32, that said, I'm old and I moved south to get away from the cold.

**wolphspyder** · 12-15-2015, 07:46 PM

The crazy Texas weather, and El Nino , have made December a good ryding month so far... , so the spyder will be out and about.........yep, it's been crazy.....but fun.

**Exditchdigger** · 12-16-2015, 12:09 PM
