    the snow tire issue ran into a snag of not having the bead be able to be seated. Still working on it but they place is closed right now.

    so I did not ride today.

    You guys up North are tough as they come. My rule is that if it's cold enough to need heated gear, then it's too cold. But here in Southern-most California, want to guess if I am still riding??? Was in 60s and 70s today. Kjen and I took a leisure ride in the mountains. About 70 miles of mostly 3rd gear and 35-40 mph. Did a lot of gazing and stopping and pics. Just a totally fun day.

    I don't like the cold, but we ride at least 5 days a week. After the first 50 or so miles of windy mountain riding things usually get better and then I can begin to enjoy the ride; just have to remind myself to relax and DON'T shiver. We went Sunrise Hwy to Julian for apple pie and coffee today. Such a lovely, meandering road with little traffic; retirement is great for doing things midweek thus avoiding clutter on the roads. The weather was clear and valley overlooks were awesome; visibility for miles-I'll try to get my pictures off the camera at some point.
    Happy Spyder owner.

    this tire I ordered after being mildly upset about being hung up.

    I will tell everyone I did learn that if you can not make it up a hill try going up backwards, I got a ton more traction in 3'' of snow in reverse.

    I park in the garage so it takes me just the 2 minutes to get rolling on my bike and they is just ot get the wheelchair on and off.

    its slower than before I was hurt and takes a little more planning but you can do it.

    Still riding Seth whenever the roads are dry. Big warm trend today, suppose to get to 53 F. Very foggy as the 12" of snow melts. Went on a 3 hour 120 mile run on Wednesday 20-30 F. Roads were good exept for a 1/4 mile of drifting snow over the road. Nanny did her job when needed. Back end of GS slid to the right and left full swing but the front kept straight. If I was on a two wheeler I would have had to push past this snow. I was 7 miles down the road and could not turn back at that point. I do plan to go out today at some point while it's warm.

    The snow cover has finally melted away so the Spyder is out of the back yard and back on the road. None too soon with gas prices well over $3 a gallon and headed north.
