Schap Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I thought the season was going to be over due to weather, but I'm going to commute the rest of the week! Maybe I'll hit 5000 miles this year after all. I know for some, that's probably not a lot, but it beats the ~4500 miles I rode in 2008...and that included riding to Florida and back.

Schap Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Mine includes 22 miles of highway, so it takes me a good hour or so to warm up once I get to the office. And that's when it's been in the mid-40's. I think I'll draw the line when it goes below 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 What a gorgeous freaking day. Would have been a great day to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schap Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 ..."Did you ride in today." No i didnt ride in i just wear all my riding gear in my car also dipshit!I love getting that question and giving them the same response....maybe I will start wearing all of my gear when I drive. That might help me get through the winter while my bike waits for spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schap Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Good reminder about the deer. I rode to work today and Monday (I was surprised to see that it was 37 degrees that morning...but my frozen body agreed!). Next week (November!) is looking good.What's on my winter upgrade list? Heated grips. That way, I can start my spring rides earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
