Who else is Ready for warm weather?
« on: February 09, 2016, 08:29:28 PM »
Am I the only one who's ready for warm weather? I recently purchased my Xciting 250, aownd I'm ready to ride daily.
Although I live In Tallahassee, Florida, it has been too cold for me to ride the nearly 50 mile commute to work. I rode ONE time, and I'm HOOKED!! But every other day has been too cold.  As it stands now, I can only ride on weekends on relatively short errands. I'm finding excuses to ride though. Just venting. Who else is ready for SPRING????

We had balmy a 63 degrees here in Oregon today. After doing my valve adjustment and air filter service I went out and rode with only a tee shirt under my lined bike jacket. Beautiful 30 minute ride! WooHoo!  8)

Very ready for Spring! No snow here, but pretty cold in the morning, down in the low twenties. Low enough to make it impractical to commute to work and have to take off the many layers I would have to wear.  We are expecting the highs to be almost 50* by Friday, so I will be riding this weekend. Sometimes I really envy those of you who live in the warm climates and can ride year-round. Enjoy it for us!

 We are in the middle of a heatwave. Low 80s this week. This is definitely not normal. Normally 60s.

Went on an errand tonight. It was 39 degrees when I headed back home. If I just could keep my hands warm, I'd be ok. Just tired of cold. I'm a warm weather guy through and through.

I live do east of you and yesterday it was 36 when I left the house 60 on in the afternoon I was warm all day. You need three season gear in north Florida.

That said you're not gonna not much sympathy for north Florida winters around here. Theses guys ride in real winter!

Me, me, me! I am so ready! Have had a few short "honey-do" rides when it warmed to high 50's to low 60's. I await for the 80's when I can gripe about sweatin'  like a pig!
