so close, yet so far

It's 35°F here and I'm so acclimated to freezing weather that it feels downright nice to me. I want to ride SO bad. Too bad there's salt, sand and snow all over everything. Even if the salt & sand were gone, everything is still a wet mess, because of all of the melting going on. Also, you can't tell if there's ice or not under that water you're about to go through.

We're in the mid 40's today. Feels great. I dare say I may be able to ride in 2 or 3 weeks if this keeps up.

Supposed to go up to 48 this weekend but the sand\salt is pissing me off

25 at home, and 50s here.
I should be riding by August.
Maybe get some riding done in June when I'm home for BNCOC.

It was nice out, so I rode to class today. Too bad in a few weeks it'll feel like I'm in a dessert.

It's in the 40's here today. Even with all the snow I may be able to get the bike out.

Then I'll take the sled out later.

I may take the bike out this weekend but I'm going to have to build in some cleaning time to remove all the salt\crap post ride.

Now I know what all my boating friends go through
