[bmccaffrey]

Well as much as I hate it. It may be time to put the spyder up

[SPYD3R]

Was there a forest fire, and is that FOAM all over those trees....???????

You maybe right. We are going to get the same thing Sunday night and Monday morning. If it melts off the ground here and they don't salt the roads, I will bundle up and plug in the heated gear and ride. Have a Great One, Ride Safe & Stay Warm!

I re-plugged the to the battery tender again. Bought a fresh bottle of Stabil today. Both gas tanks filled up. Low 20's today and the black ice is back on the side roads.

I am also thinking this is the going into hibernation weekend here also.

If so, it has been a great riding year for us. We are going to plan more stuff next summer--health permitting.

I hope to meet up with you next summer

We are so looking forward to the "outside" contingent of 's coming to visit Alaska. Hope we can enjoy a ride or two and some camaraderie with all those visiting. Meeting with SL members has been a high point of our summers.

I still hope to have warmer than 28 deg F.in fact I was tempted to ride this morning.

No, it's not foam, it's frozen water. Around here , we call it SNOW and we HATE it.

[garb55]

As much as I liked riding all year [the past 2 years]
I know we need the water here in California
So, I will gladly put the to bed for the winter if it would only snow

[Chupaca]

could be a artic blast and then back to global warming.... I wouldn't give up yet...

[missouriboy]

We're gonna do a 120-myle luncheon ryde to the Gulf Coast today with 2 other couples.

[Bob Denman]

I'm finishing up the storage of mine today...

I have it (Spyder) switch places with where the snowblower gets stored.

Me either. I put some crap it the tank so the gas dont spoil. Plug in the battery tender and any warm day in Dec, Jan, or Feb if it warms and the roads are dry we will push the Spyder outside and ride. If I can get up & down my ugly dirt driveway.

[spyderbirds]

Just took the sport screen off the 2010 RT and put the stock barn door back on. Good now down to mid teens for ryding.

I don't put my Spyder in storage. One of the main reasons I bought mine is because we get quite a few "warm" days during the winter months and I plan on being out riding.

[easysuper]

We went for two good rides this weekend , Saturday morning started in the high 30s and ended in the high 40s , today we had a later ride . the first photo you can see the Three Sisters with their new snow on them .

I do the exact same thing...
I hooked up the Battery Tender yesterday afternoon, and the light was GREEN, right from the get-go!
Whenever I used to hook up my 2010; it might take a half-hour or more to get to that point.
It appears that the alternator is doing a better job of keeping the battery up to snuff!

[den1953]

I last rode on Veterans Day, six days ago then put the Sta-Bil in the tank and hooked up the tender. Good thing too because Winter got here about three weeks early. We just got our first significant snowfall overnight with 3 inches. No more riding until Spring here.

Yep, that's basically what I did too.

Looks like a fantastic riding day and the scenery is great also. You still have leaves, running water, and some touches of green.

[Bob Denman]

Are you completely shut down up there yet?
I heard the other morning, that it was warmer in Anchorage, than it was in Atlanta? Wassup wif DAT?

Crazy weather--heck yes! My last time on nanner was Thursday the 13th. Wait and see mode for the weekend. Low 20's and black ice on my country road. Did not venture out because of the black ice.

Today, low 30's, but still the black ice on the road, ramps, and shady spots. There is a lot of that, as the sun does not rise much above the 10:00 position in the sky. That is lower than a lot of the mountains. We are down to just less than 7 hours of daylight, not much heating, and no melting in the shade. My road is on the wrong side of the mountains. It is looking like I am done riding for the season. Going to "Stabilize" in a couple days or so.

This year, I got an extra month of riding in compared to the last three seasons. Last riding days in the previous years were between 10/5 and 10/9.

[Bob Denman]

on your extended Season!
I would have loved an extra Month on mine. The road salt says otherwise!
