I may, but probably not far. It's cold, windy, and overcast today. I got all my riding in on Saturday when it was 70 and sunny. Rode with 13 other Spyders and 2 MCs nearly 300 miles.

Happy Spydering all!!

Yep I am ryding to a work appointment today! 35 miles from home :) only 65 deg. today.
On Wednesday it is gonna begin raining for at least 4 days. That won't stop me, just means a big clean up day will be in store.

Took a ride up 16th St., and came back down Embassy Row. A nice ride through the city before the tourists show up. Electric heat not required.nojoke

:agree: I rode in to work this morning. We're having crazy weather today, at 5:30am it was like 53F degrees, went out at lunch (10am)& it was 43 :yikes: but still a great day to ryde. My motto is' "if the roads are dry, I'm gonna be on em!" :thumbup:

Rode to work today 20 mi. each way.
53 degrees when I left, probably high 60's when I go home later.
Love the Can Am leather jacket and a full face helmet, 12 mi. of the ride was at 73mph on I-95.

I took a short ryde today. About 50F - but, the wind really started picking up toward the end of the ryde.
Lots of puddles to avoid, though!

The melt is on but road is still mostly slush. To borrow from SethO we are waiting for some "good tar". With all of the melting snow comes another problem - standing water on the roads. And when the standing water is gone there will be potholes in its place.

I need to move south.

Hey everyone. I was ryding here today - Newfoundland we had mostly clear blue sky, but high winds, so blowing snow in places. I took my time, stayed on the main roads which are clear ( side roads are still snow covered ). It was -10C, windchill -21C, but a beautiful crispy winder Ryder day!


Cheers from Newfoundland!

Only a short comute to work (15 miles) and the obligatory stop at the florist. Temperature in the mid 40s, wind 20 to 30 mph, still not a bad day for a ryde. :yes:

I wish there was solid good tar but there was ridable tar today, worked all night, 11.5 night till 6 am for the last 5, took care of handcrapp stuff, then jumped in the truck went bike shopping for a buddy all day on no sleep, got back rode again tonight, a snow is again a must. it was warm up here today 28f.
