Even though my fingers are a little too cold to type well....

Anyone else getting a chance to scoot in this weather? When i snuck out of work at 4 today, it was 50 here in NJ. Got in an hour of scooting up the beachfront, but as soon as the sun went down so did the temp. Best weeknight in a long time!

Did you spray your scoot down with Lysol when you got back

My husband had what we think was H1N1 and I followed everything he touched with disinfectant.

Glad you got out. Not as warm here, but damn 40 feels great after single digits!

I rode to work 3 days last week and yesterday. Today I took a cage ride, pertty heavy fog and temps just under freezing make for sketchy conditions on asphalt. Had a nice hour long ride on the Burgman Friday afternoon. I ran the 3 garage dweller for 15-20 minutes on Sunday just to keep the carbs clean.

THINK SPRING

Sunday (1/17) was a bust because it rained all day in the Baltimore/DC area however the 2 days sandwiching Sunday were outstanding days for riding and I took advantage of both opportunities. Saturday’s high was around 50 which is warm for a January temperature and Monday was even better with a high around mid 50. These rides were just to lunch and a few errands but it felt great to ride my Buddy.

Sunday’s rain was probably due to my tears of sorrow over the Raven’s loss to the Colts but the rain was beneficial because it washed away the road salt/sand from previous snowstorms.
