    Default Time Is Running Out

    If you can, go for a long ryde this week. In Helena Montana, it is snowing (Sunday). How far until snow or too cold even without snow at your house. Me, I'm going on a very long ryde this week. Good luck and have a good trip. Just sayin'

    Even in Germany the summer is over. Lots of rain and temperatures around 60° F. For me as a "fair weather biker" the season is over.

    On the other hand, we have been very hot for too long down here. Expect 95 degrees today. Too hot to for me to ride.

    Default Riding Season in Vermont

    HI,

    Today we had some nice weather, temps in the 70's and sunny.

    But 12:00 midnight until 8:00 am( Monday) we have a frost warning out. The nights/and days are getting cooler. Nice riding season.

    For me the riding season is coming to an end. I have 2 more weeks to take long rides, and to see the fall foliage here in Vermont. I think the fall foliage will be at it peak in Mid -October.

    Before you know it we ( Adrien & I) will be on the sleds again( when the trails open up Dec. 15th).


    If anyone has a chance to take long spyder rides before the spyder riding season ends in there area take advantage of the it.

    Deanna

    Predicting 90's here in southern Ohio this week. We are leaving on October 6th for a ride down Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Going to spend a minute or two in Maggie Valley, maybe check out the rally. Then it's off to the west for a few weeks. Probably return to Ohio mid November. I never really put the bikes away as I ride year round if the roads aren't salted. Gerbings has a lot of my $$$

    Where's your season pass ??

    My friends and I get a Rose pass every year. If you see a bunch of tailgaters on the Slide side and you spot an Asian guy with either a bright orange or bright yellow pants, with either a pair of Blizzard skis or a GNU snowboard, stop by. Chances are that guy is me, LOL.

    Since being back down south, I haven't run across a day that too hot to ride. 100+ heat index is still good for me. Every great once in a while it gets "too cold" meaning I just don't feel like putting on all the necessary stuff to ride in that weather. And I don't ride in cold AND wet conditions. Other than that, I'm good year-round.

    Despite living in Ontario, Canada, I never completely put my bike away for the winter... there always seems to be a day or two here or there during the winter where the roads are bone dry and my snowmobile suit comes in handy for at least a spin around the neighbourhood!

    I know exactly where that spot is.

    I forgot, my helmet is bright orange. I wear it every time I go up. I’m off every Fri, Sat and Sun, but usually go up on Fridays.

    PM me if you want to meet up. First round’s on me !!

    I seldom ski the weekends but Friday I'm there for sure. I'm sure we have crossed paths as I've skied Rose for over 20 years. I'm sure there are a few more good days here before winter really hits but I'm up on Hw431 at 5600 ft so when town get rained on , I often get snow so no . Your right ---- we should meet up.

    For you, it's what happens when the cable goes out on the TV. For us, it's pretty much the same thing, unless some shows up on the ground. Then we all stay home and hope the cable doesn't go out.

    Don't have cable way out here. I don't even have TV no more. Pulled the plug on satellite about 25 years ago. I have a huge DVD collection.

    I do vaguely remember what snow is like from spending several months of a winter in the early 70s in Korea. I have tried to avoid it completely ever since than.

    Maybe 4 weeks left here in Iowa. Once we get into November we never know what the weather is going to do. Could be 60 degrees one day and snowing the next. I rented a storage unit for the Spyder yesterday. It is only 2 miles from my house, so I can ride until snow is forecast, then tuck it away. Nomad stays home in the garage. Time to start running stabilizer in the bikes in case weather turns nasty early.
