    I saw a few bikes out this weekend. Not any since we got 6 inches of snow since Monday. Hope those fellow riders were able to get home safely.

    They may have been traveling and not familiar with the weather patterns, just saying because you get caught out in bad weather when riding does not mean your stupid or not paying attention, it may be because you are trying to get to point B from A and not had a lot of options.

    This time of year can really catch a person off guard if they aren’t paying attention. It was 69 in Chadron NE Tuesday afternoon before the storm hit and there were a few bikes out. They did us plenty of warning that this was coming however.
