We hadn't had any winter until you posted this thread. Only 3 days of thaw here since. 22F outside right now. So do something before we leave Wednesday!
Yeah...shoulda kept my mouth shut. I rode to work this morning...27 F. Not all that pleasant, but I had to drop the bike off for a new rear tire before we head out to Florida. It probably would have made it fine, but I don't like to take chances with Nurse Ratchet on the back
I ride almost every day. I added a windshield because the mornings were just under 40F, highs around 72F. I have to bring two pairs of gloves. Winter in the morning and summer in the afternoon. Though all of you can laugh at me in the summer when I'm riding in 90F in the morning and 120F in the afternoon. At those temps, I have to wear a jacket to keep the blow-dryer-like wind from burning me.
Yesterday on the way home, -22, with -35C windchill, I met a guy on the road driving an old army motorcycle with a sidecar, a true die-hard I suppose. And he had an open face helmet. Balaclava of course, but not a full face helmet.
Predicting 45 degrees C here today , reckon it will be the hottest Brisbane day since recording began.. f#ckin hot up in Donnys' shed working on the camper trailer I can tell you that !!!
