No snow? A lot warmer than VT huh? I would like to have a longer riding season, perhaps someday.


Thanks for the link!

Well, you look to be the only one with balls enough to go without real wind protection. :upthumb:

What can I say, I am riding to work daily, in temperatures around 5 deg C (been a warm winter) and as this is Pembrokeshire with its' atlantic winds of speeds upto 70mph. It was actually 60mph yesterday.

No such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothes (Billy Connelly).

Get out and enjoy it, regardless of weather !!!!
