damn that sucks. it seems a lot of people are getting sick atm must be something going around.

 

I want to ride!!!!! Freaking winter sucks.

 

I got a little sick last week so I didn't ride into work on Thursday, other than that I've just been commuting. Weekends are now for skiing, though this past weekend my wife and I were in @TacoTyusday and @nd4spdbh 's neck of the woods in San Diego (took her car, didn't ride unfortunately).

I've been doing the GLMC planning but it doesn't look like it's happening.



Still at only 18 points and that's over 2k miles of riding... Think I'm going to pass as I don't think it's worth riding over 3k miles (to grind out the last 2 points) for a t-shirt.

 

agreed... its now all turned to ice and we have been in the negatives since friday!

man everyone is getting sick!

Move to CA!

 

-1 this morning, cold all week. Waiting for either an early spring or April.

 

Nope nope nope. Never!! Actually lived in Riverside/ Fontana back in 90/91. I rode a 1986 Suzuki intruder 750.

 

No, California sucks. Don't come here.

 

agreed! ill stay here lol even thou its frozen hell lmao

 

I grew up in Cali, you can have it.

 

I never realized this could present such a challenge for some of you. Guess our multitude of boroughs and townships in PA make it easy for me. I plotted in Basecamp PA, MD, DE, NJ, OH, WV, and some of VA and have over 107 locations marked so far. I can likely get finisher status in one ride and less than a tank of fuel. It honestly does bum me out a little that the theme is less fair than I expected. I'm still watching to see what Team Strange comes up with for their 2024 grand tour as I'll likely sign up for it as well. Once I know more I'll share it here in hopes it might be playable for some of you.

 

I'm NOT riding today as it's slightly overcast and 58deg out and that's just too cold.

 

58 is to cold! man ill trade you!

 

I would take 58 over the 29* it is right now

 

Rode in 40-45 degree weather last week, night ride. Wasn't dressed properly and it sucked so bad.

 

I am definitely not a tough guy when it comes to the cold but, with heated gloves and some cheap ski bibs, I can ride comfortably down into the 30's on my naked FZ1...

 

its 1 outside with a windchill of -10

 

I’ve racked up about 300 miles of practice under my belt, so I felt confident enough to ride into town to run errands before the temps plummet this afternoon. Had to stop for the required Starbucks photo shoot.

 

-1° here with a forecast of -20° tonight. fts.
