Anybody riding in this cold?
« on: December 22, 2013, 08:03:29 pm »
It is 15 degrees here so my bike has seafoam in the tank and plugged into the battery tender, but.... I know a bunch of you guys are tougher than me. Or maybe its warm where you are. Who is still riding daily or weekly at least?

I'm in central California, so we don't get as cold as you.  ;D With everything going on, I only rode to work one day last week. 15 minute commute at that

Nope.

Sadly, no real snow in the Wenatchee Mountains, but it is cold and snowy enough that I have not ridden the dirt bikes in a month. It should be time to get out the Ski Doo and touring skis and head up to the high country for skitouring- but alas, a few feet short. There is now 4 ft of snow up on the Cascade crest at Stevens Pass, so we may go ski there...

About a week ago the forecast was for clear weather, so I was thinking seriously about driving to south Puget Sound for some Tahuyah SF singletrack. However, although sunny the high was forecast in the 30s (icy puddles!) and the next day forecast for 400 ft snow level and some snow for the commute back.

Oh well, I am probably just antsy. I bought a used Honda CRF250X which I can make street legal in WA and was able to ride it just two hours before snowy weather shut that down. So I have my MTB and three dual-sport motos sitting in the garage next to the unused thus far Ski Doo and skis.

OTOH, having a great Christmas season with my girls and soon we celebrate the Dear Savior's birth!

Yesterday at noon the radio said it was 5*F out with a high of 6*F.
So I went for a ride.
Ended up with just over a hundred miles but found some new trails and an old train trestle.
The temp would only read LO

It's now 100 degrees here. I guess I need to start a hot riding thread!
