Mariner Fan Posted January 13, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 13, 2008 I'm looking out the window at the snow falling and am happy as heck that I got out on my bike yesterday. Weather was clear and in the high 40's. Here in the Mid-West, the weather can and will change overnight so when these opportunities come up I take full advantage of it.

TrainMaster Posted January 13, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 13, 2008 I'm in neighboring Illinois and got out yesterday for a 40 mile cruise between Yorkville and Ottawa. About 39 degrees but sunny with dry roads. I simply could not resist and it was great therapy. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted January 13, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 13, 2008 I didn't get out yesterday, because I didn't have anywhere I had to go. But I was out every other day this week except Tuesday, the day it rained all day long and flooded everything. If the roads and weather are clear, I ride. The cold doesn't stop me. Gotta minimize my gas cost whenever I can. Friday I stopped at the local small town bank branch for a bit of business. It was maybe 35*. All the gals in there know me and get a chuckle out of how long into the winter I keep riding. The one who helped me that day asked me if got out on my bike earlier in the week when the weather was so warm. (Last Monday we hit a record high of 64*, but it only lasted a day and a half). I just chuckled and pointed out the window to my bike. "Whaddayamean earlier this week?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadwolf56 Posted January 13, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 13, 2008 nope, I haven't had it out lately. Been considering some things I want to work on before spring. Guess I'll have to get busy here shortly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted January 14, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 14, 2008 Sigh. Nope. Ten years ago I rode any time the roads were clear of ice and snow. Today I allow circumstance to stop me. Rain is not really a problem. Cold I can deal with to a point. Rain and cold at the same time just take it a little too far. Apparantly I've gotten not young.

Dano Posted January 14, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 14, 2008 Basketball games, honey-do's, afternoon nap, already ran the gas down low to start working on her. Dang weather needs to quit teasing me! I'll never get started on the projects! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckles Posted January 14, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 14, 2008 Rode three of four times this past week. We have had some decent weather in the south of Indiana this winter. did ride on New Years Day. About 40 miles, 30* temps. Never know from day to day what the temps will be. Don't like the weather? wait a day it will change. Chuckles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman1 Posted January 14, 2008 Share #8 Posted January 14, 2008 I got out a couple of other day's this week, but had to work a 12 hr shift yesterday, so I drove my truck. I hate not being able to ride as much in the winter. The big thing I'm doing right now is planning and dreaming about Eck's Natchez Trace Ride! Also doing some maintenance on my baby. I sure don't want to hear from all you Texans or anyone else about how many darn miles you rode yesterday either. Cheers, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Fan Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted January 14, 2008 Yea, it's the pits to hear of all the fun the Southern folks are having this winter! For some reason, I'm feeling even more depressed with the weather after I got to ride on Saturday. Looks like cold and snow for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indyventure Posted January 15, 2008 Share #12 Posted January 15, 2008 sure did get out. I took my son for a nice ride. We ended up in Brookville and Metamora. Getting days like that in mid-January are a gift....take'em and ride! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
