I'm fortunate enough to spend the winter in Arizona and stay the hell out of another Michigan winter where my home town just got another 8 inches of snow and it was -6 degrees. I've been able to get some riding in but this may also be the last year I can afford to come out so I'm enjoying it while I can. The picture I'm enclosing is looking towards the California side. of the Colorado River. The bridge in the background connects Parker, AZ with Earp, CA. (Yes of Wyatt Earp fame). http://
St. Louis has preserved an old car bridge across the Missisippi called the chain of rocks bridge. Went there yesterday to see the eagles. Walked 1/2 mile to the middle of the bridge, 60 feet above the water, the wind was gusting to about 35 mph and the temp was about 30 degrees. Walking into the wind, I thought my face was going to fall off! On the way back, with the wind, it was just ok. No eagles, nasty weather, and the Pack lost, total and complete bummer!!!

50 dgrees has been my cut-off since about the time I turned 50.
I used to go to Muskegon Mi frequently when working. That's serios lake effect country. There was a guy there that road a HD to work every day of the year. Sometimes I had trouble getting a big truck going in that snow, but there was his bike in the parking lot.
Re: AYR riders, I have a feeling that Yorba Linda has a little warmer weather year round than we do.
Rovers the only guy I know that rides in winter. But, i thinkonly on sunny days.
I'm with Old School, below 50 is not for me, but it's been in the 80's here lately and only recently going down to 60 in the daytime.
Some of you guys in the warmer climate in the states and other countries get to enjoy a longer riding season, can't imagine living where the season never ends.
It was low single digits here last night, the snow was very crunchy underfoot, a far cry from a week ago. Car starting is getting slow, dont even want to think about what the 79 starter is going to sound like.
Ive got warm enough clothes to tolerate a little riding at ten degrees, dont feel like doing that today. We only have five inches of snow on the ground here though.
Rich, gads, 26 inches of snow at night, that is awful.
26" of lake effect snow last night!
won't be any riding or anything else going on for a while in the Cleveland area.
Too cold to go out in the garage, gonna throw a couple more logs on the fire, wait for spring....or at least something warmer than 15degrees...brrrrr
