FEH! Fair-weather rider!!

I used to take my dirtbike out and play in the snow and ice and -30's back home in North Dakota when I was a young dumb kid, and even today, +30's is STILL ridable weather! You just gotta put on a few layers.... Just depends on how bad you wanna ride!!

16 degrees this morning and streets were covered in frozen condensate, no thanks. I'm 47 now and if I tear myself up I'm screwed, I've got a mortgage to pay.

I gave in last month when it warmed up to 45-50 and took a little 50 mile spin .....roads were wet, ( before salt ) now it needs a bath bad, and took it out a few days ago 20 mile ride to bank but it was cold.
Would love to ride out west again, you have some awesome scenery where you ride.

Thanks John, it really is beautiful out here, but dangerous too. You really have to look out for sand/gravel, it could snow at the drop of hat while riding the canyons and the freeze thaw cycles crack large rocks off the canyon walls in the spring. If you ever make it out here, let me know and bring a map and a highlighter. I'll mark up all the cool roads for ya.
