Short ride.

Yesterday was my first commute in quite a while. Weather finally warmed up.

When I left the house it was about 40f clear and calm. Really nice. Coming home was a treat - 52f with 18mph cross winds, gusting to 25-45mph. I think I finall am getting comfortable with winds.

Nice! I went riding last Sunday for 3-4 hours. The weather was great! 56F and Sunny. I was able to try out my new Dark Smoke visor and even drove on a few of the main roads.

Glad you are getting some seat time too. Three to four hours! Where did you ride? Sounds like you need to post a ride report.

That's too cold for me to ride! Was it really -52F?

There are times when it truly feels that cold.

If I'm going to ride my bike this spring, I'll have to learn to get comfortable with the darn wind like you...

It's that sneaky cross wind that gets me...
