It has been cold here in Dallas the past few days, but tomorrow is 50 in the morning with a high of 70 so my gear is in the laundry to prep for the ride.

Winter can get old pretty quick. And that's coming from a southerner who doesn't have it nearly as bad as some of you!

Yeah it really is.
We got 2.56 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. The roads flood, potholes the size of my helmet appear out of nowhere, trees come down, my power goes out, and I'm too busy digging trenches in the lawn to divert the river so I can't put my bike back together. And we don't even have snow to deal with... |

It was 22 degrees today and I went for a 2 minute ride because I was too excited to try out my new seat (sent it to Spencer for modding).
I was freezing, but it was worth it. 38 tomorrow and 40 this weekend. woohoo! I've actually never ridden in weather warmer than 60. I'm excited for my first spring on two wheels.

Winter can stay for about another month. Just long enough for me to finish my bicycle upgrades. No more. After that, I want to ride.

@CC_Cowboy, once we found out you were going to get your Florida sunshine-addicted butt up here to NY for the Superbowl, we placed a special order for warm weather. 35 degrees above what we've had recently.
As you're shivering in the cold drizzle on Sunday and contemplating the early onset of hypothermia, you can thank us. Anything for a fellow 'jetter.

Just got 4 inches of snow up here yesterday. Plus I'm in college so even on the nicer days I don't have a bike to ride haha. At least I get to ride a little when I go home on weekends!

For real though @dcj13 Someone either snow blowed it off or it melted. The snow is weird around here. Seems to snow like this every 10 or so years. Otherwise we get a light dusting for an hour, the city shuts down and the snow melts by the end of the day. End of story.

We had snow for 3 hours on Dec 20th. Wet slop. Before that, it was January 2012 for a couple of days. Life's good for us, I guess...

I've been hearing rumors of an upcoming blizzard here in MD that I'll have to ride through, I don't even care about not being able to ride since I have to ride through whatever is thrown at me to get places right now. I just want warm, it felt warm this morning and it was 14-15 degrees out with minimal wind. That's the warmest it's been in over a week and my body can, unfortunately, tell.

It's been great and all, but I hope Cali doesn't get destroyed by fires come summertime. We gotta conserve! Remember, only flush it down when you see the brown
And of course, don't forget to bring a towel.

ive been riding non stop in this weather. i beat my old record and will NEVER do it again. before this year the coldest i ever rode was 13 degrees with a wind chill of 10, so a few weeks ago it got down to 3, with a wind chill of -8... so i thought to myself, ive rode in 13, 3 wont be ****. i gear up double with layers, i have NO electric gear at all. i go out, doesnt seem too bad, bout 5 mins into my ride i hit the interstate, and the speed limit is 70. as i get up to interstate speed the INSIDE of my visor freezes solid after i exhale... so i get to ride 15 mins on the interstate with my visor cracked. after father winter and baby jesus got done having their way with me i swore i would never ride below 13 again!
btw does any one know how cold it was if the windchill was -8 and i was going 70 mph?
