I am with you - having come over to Milwaukee for a business trip, instead of a mild and relatively sunny East of England when I left on Monday morning.

But minus 35F with some wind-chill, that's a tad too cold even from the hotel window! Put like that, even heated clothing, gloves and grips wouldn't be enough to tempt me out...

Slap some ski pants on and come riding! I'm here in NYC and I've been riding every day - and yeah, it IS cold!

As far as a photo - here's a recent pic from the crosss country ride I did in November...

I got the same blues Ricster. It is brutal right now and has been snowing for days. We have had 6 weeks of -32C or lower and its just killing me.

I know how you feel! The weather was warmer about a week ago, so my Sprint escaped from the garage for a little 61 mile ride!

I know how you feel Ricster.

Here in the Pacific North west we have been bombbarded with crazy weather.Every thing from record snow to flooding and mud slides.

Looks like we are getting a reprieve from the weather for the next 6 or 7 days.

My wife and I even got a little ride time in this after noon. Keep your chin up your time will come soon.

Damnit, you have to go and post a pretty photo like this, I hate to say it but the more I see the pacific blue the more it grows on me.

Glad you got out and pounded the pavement.
