Loving this weather!

[michigal]

Can't believe it is March in Michigan and I've been riding four of the past six days and tomorrow is looking promising as well. A buddy posted on Facebook on Saturday that he had made his first ride of the season. My response..."slacker, I've been riding for the past four days." Now, I'm just praying we don't get snow in June!

I left Michigan in November because I didn't want to spend another winter there. Who knew you wouldn't have a winter at all! But I wouldn't put away the snow shovel or plant your garden just yet! Remember the awful wet and cold weather we had last year at the end of April? I'm sure everyone who went to Spyderfest remembers it - I know I won't forget it anytime soon.

I have put over 1500 miles on sice January in NY !!! Some of us are getting together tomorrow for a couple hundred mile ride. 75 degrees forcasted for tomorrow in NY and close to 80 on Thursday. :clap:

I put on 150 miles last week, to work (18 degrees) and back(60 degrees). snow monday and tuesday, so :spyder2: stays home

 

[StriperKing]

I have rode as much this year as I have last year before Spyderfest because of all the rain and flooding last year and the warm beautiful weather this year. We went out to eat on it tonight after dark and it was still 75 deg.

I've managed a couple of hundred miles since getting the RT back... But now it's time to start getting serious about ryding! :thumbup:

 

[vampyregirl]

I finally made it past the 600 mile mark!!!! Got to get it in to the dealer next week..... hyea: I'm hoping the weather stays decent so I can keep rydin'!!!! I don't have any cold weather gear, plus I have asthma. Kinda puts a damper on winter ryding...

Slight sunburn on yesterday's ride

Rode 150 miles in yesterday's 83 degrees -- got a slight sunburn and LOVED every mile of it!!!!:yes:

I am in Nortern Virginia and yes I agree, I can't believe that I am ryding to work already. Today was my first trip to work this season because of rain, but WOW, I can't believe that I ryding season came so early. This is so great!

 

[hansensmomx2]

Yes we in Michigan have had great weather:clap::clap: Waiting for my husband to come home so we can ride our :spyder2:. In the 80s today so ready to get out

Envy! Envy! Envy! I have put zero miles on my bikes since mid October 2011. Its 24 degrees above today--BUT--the sun is shining and the sky is blue. We are getting some residual melting. I still have 2/10 th's of a mile of icy road and my 40 ft driveway to go. Its really killing me since I was able to ride last year the first week of March.

The weather people are predicting more light snow for the weekend. We need 3.3 inches to beat the all time snow record for the Anchorage area.

:joke:

Broken is one thing, but our old record was shattered by 15 degrees yesterday! This is pretty insane! It was in the upper 80s here today. Even the magnolias and fruit trees are in full bloom, at least six weeks ahead of time. nojoke

 

[dannymax]

Records are being laid to waste on a daily basis here! When we went on the SICC ride ani29:'s in Columbia County) on Tuesday I wore a mesh jacket with a t-shirt....AND even packed a cooling vest in the frunk!! I didn't use the vest but it was close! On-board gauges were reading in the low 80's (probly skewed a little high, but still.....)

I gotta run to the UPS terminal in about an hour, got some carbs coming in that I want to get started on, guess what I'll be driving.....hyea:

 

[Bob Denman]

We've got to enjoy each and every one of these days; when they're gone, they're gone. But they also can't take them away once they're here! :2thumbs:

 

[chickridin]

It's been wonderful here in the eastern part of MI! A lot of people are saying we're going to get slammed with snow still this month....NOT!! Even if we did it wouldn't stick, the ground is way to warm. Besides, our tulip bed is coming up nicely now and it's our first time so it has to stay warm. I haven't got my Spyder out yet though. We have been on the HD a couple times. We have to do some shuffling in our garage to accomadate the bikes and we're leaving for vacation today so I told hubby to wait until we get back. Then I will be riding! :doorag:

It looks like all of us in southern Michigan can relax a bit, with the highs for the weekend projected to be only around 60. Shouldn't get cold enough to do a lot of harm to young buds, although they said frost warnings are possible. Those of us who live outside of a city area know we often get cooler nighttime temps, so some type of cover in the garden may be necessary. Some of our maples have already leafed out and I've never seen that so early here in Michigan! wonder what it will do to the maple syrup industry?

 

[michigal]

We paid for it today...

...rode from Lansing to Saginaw and headed home via Frankenmuth. Temps were near 80. About 20 miles from home, drove into high winds, rain, lightening and what looked like the beginnings of a tornado. We took shelter in a barn for a while, then stopped at a Burger King to get hot coffee and dry off, somewhat. We made it home, cold and wet, but safe. Think we're gonna stay home tomorrow.

:roflblack: That'll teach you! Never ride in Michigan without bringing a rainsuit along. Clear blue skies can turn to a frog-choking rain in a heartbeat! Hit 87 here today. We have ridden daily. This is like the best days of May. Incredible! We will pay, no doubt.
