Darn! I nearly froze to death on the way in this morning... It was 57 Degrees when I rolled out! But at least is should warm up to the 70's. Frigid, but tolerable. At least there's no clouds in the sky...

Gonna be a cold one. We might even get a freeze this year.

Damn sudden climate change/global warming...

There was frost on my roof and grass yesterday.
42 right now.
Warm gear is out of the closet, turned on the heated grips yesterday.

Summer was fun this year, Thanks BMC!!

Hey Rob - is Bob Hall Pier still on the Island?
Used to fish there with my pop when we lived in Portland.

I left for work the other day on the bike. It was 32 degrees.

Not the coldest I've ridden in, but close.

Yep. Still there. Gotten crowded tho. Whenever I hit the beach I like to go down the National Seashore till I can't see anybody in either direction. One of the few places you can still do that on a beach.

Any recommendations for cold weather gloves for riding?

I just bought a pair of these. They seem nice and warm.

37*F this morning when I rode home. Foggy as hell too. Almost got me another deer and close to getting my first raccoon, right at the apex of a nice sweeper, Wheewww, glad I missed that!

My morning commutes have been in the upper 30's and lower 40's lately , gotta remember the tires dont stick the same , and it's the beginning of deer rutting season here , but got a nice weekend and warmer temps ahead , maybe i can finally hit the 10k mark , lost allot of time with her laid up with my broken rims .

The deer goin nuts is why I'm done riding to work for the year. I go thru the Cuyahoga Valley National Park to and from work, and when I come home at 5 am it's foggy as hell and the deer that normally just stand along the road and watch you go by are running all over the place.
