    Hi all just wanted to say that it was so nice this morning that i went on a 100 km run and that may not sound like much to most of you guy but last week it was -20 and i had 15 inches of snow in my yard but we had a great warm spell the last couple of days. I got home just in time to put bike back in garage and then the wind started and it was so bad the the hydro lines went down and we lost power around 1 pm today and just got it back at 10 pm But at least i was able to get a ride in.

    P.S. Wifes dont understand why we cant just leave them parked till spring

    Well done that man. Envy & Respect in equal measure. Too windy all day here in Mississauga. I trust no Ice patches or standing water along your route.

        Saturday was the magic day here in Cincinnati, with a record breaking high of 72F! I managed to find time to ride about 60 miles. I had a good time and now I'm sure my battery is fully charged.
        I know this, because Tyler knows this.

              The temps here are supposed to be in the 40s-50s and sunny all week, so I'll be riding all week! Rode into work this morning. Got a new jacket and helmet for Christmas, and gotta break 'em in!
