This whole "winter" thing...

adouglas · January 30th, 2014, 02:23 PM

... is getting pretty old.

antiant · January 30th, 2014, 02:24 PM

I have no idea what you are talking about.

tfkrocks · January 30th, 2014, 02:26 PM

This winter has been fantastic. So much wonderful riding

astricklin · January 30th, 2014, 02:27 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

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.

cbinker · January 30th, 2014, 02:28 PM

f winter. i hate it.

Saturday through Wednesday 80 degrees. Life is tough in paradise.

ally99 · January 30th, 2014, 03:53 PM

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!

corksil · January 30th, 2014, 04:27 PM

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...

Sykes92 · January 30th, 2014, 04:41 PM

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.

choneofakind · January 30th, 2014, 05:06 PM

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.

DEFY · January 30th, 2014, 05:12 PM

Cold? I'm freezing my rastafarian nenes off!

@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.

JohnnyBravo · January 30th, 2014, 06:29 PM

I'm with ya on that, even though I get riding days in between cold snaps, it's def not enough!

LittleRedNinjette · January 30th, 2014, 06:37 PM

What in between?? We haven't had a in between. It's been f-ing cool. Evey day. Where's that damn groundhog....

cbinker · January 30th, 2014, 06:52 PM

oh look its 11* and snowy here.

TnNinjaGirl · January 30th, 2014, 07:00 PM

How the heck did they keep the snow off the grass in that video? Our snow doesn't act like that in these here parts (when we have snow).

I've been a wuss lately, taking the car to work. Maybe I'll ride in tomorrow...

KawiKid860 · January 30th, 2014, 07:16 PM

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!

Good ol' Mary's house. Some say she's a witch from a different century. Some say she has underfloor heating under her entire yard. All we know is, she's called The Stig

dcj13 · January 30th, 2014, 07:29 PM

Good to be Mary!

TnNinjaGirl · January 30th, 2014, 07:33 PM

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.

dcj13 · January 30th, 2014, 07:41 PM

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...

oblivion007 · January 30th, 2014, 09:28 PM

Pfft. winter hah! I ride erry day except when I don't have to :P

In the snow, in the rain, in the dry desert all just to go to school. I contemplate whether it beats the bus though...

Sirref · January 30th, 2014, 09:35 PM

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.

MasterLanMan · January 31st, 2014, 12:08 AM

It just rained here today, and I am not happy. So far winter here hasn't really been... Winter.

subxero · January 31st, 2014, 06:36 AM

I had a dream last night that I got to ride my ninja....it was awesome!

It's going to feel amazing, unfortunately we seem to have a blizzard headed our way according to my coworkers so the warm weather up to the low 50s won't last long.

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.

cbinker · January 31st, 2014, 09:48 PM

once again the forecast brings nothing but depression, no snow but plenty of below zero temps.

7oxSin · January 31st, 2014, 11:10 PM

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?

cbinker · January 31st, 2014, 11:49 PM

winter has turned my BAC to >.08
