One of the perks of living in the South is that we can ride all year.
When I lived in Jersey I could get in a solid 5 months a year, sometimes even 6 months. Down here well unless its raining you con ride all year.
Some I'd the cold wimps down here put their bikes up for the winter, but for someone born and raised in the North, winters down here are pretty mild.
In nearly 30 years of living here, the coldest I can remember it getting was 19 degrees F, overnight, and by lunch te the next day it was in the low 60's. lol
