Who rode to work. fall 2007 edition

[ZED]

I've ridden almost every day up until now.  Some days it's been below freezing, but the ground has been warm enough not to frost, so it's been OK.  Most days it was full wind/water/weather gear with heated grips, winter gloves, and neck tube.  

Last night a chinook blew in and it was 20degC today.  I was roasting in my rain pants sitting in traffic.  

Tonight a storm is blowing in.  It's about freezing and they anticipate it to freeze every night in the forcast.  The commuting season may be over here.  

But, I'll likely take the KLR out for a blast Sunday afternoon!

Headed home last night about 10PM, it was under 40 and gorgeous.  Yes, it's still riding season.

it was low 40's and windy at 6:00 am but as usual the gerbins did it's job.

 only saw 1 other bike out.

[Max Wedge]

It was 39 this AM, but supposed to be sunny and 55 this PM. Right now it's getting cloudier

Might get rained on again, like yesterday. They grey skies were beautiful in their own way, if it had been 15 degrees colder it would have flurries for sure. It was a grand ride.

I had to take my wife to the airport this morning, so no bike.  I'm not sure that I would have anyways, as the temp was 34 when I would have been riding to work and I don't have any heated gear.

I only saw one other person out besides myself, as well.  Usually I see a guy on a dualsport, but I must have left too late this morning to catch him.

34° F, 17.3 miles to work this morning.  Wore the gear- a great day to take the bike to work.  56° and sun right now...

[Breadman]

Yup, I rode also.  Still warm enough to justify leaving the car at home.  43 in AM, 50 this afternoon with lots of sun glare.

Rode in the past three days. About 36 to 38 degrees when I left at 7:30. The bikes are thinning out at work. Mine was the only one in the lot.

what one day can make. yesterday it felt like winter with the wind and all and this morning its 54 and feels like spring. never turned on the gerbings. acutely i was a little to warm.

[sleazy rider]

Well, I didn't ride to work today.  I'm off for three days, so I'm in Tellico Plains.    Rode the Dragon, Skyway and a few other really nice twisty roads today.  Now for a nap, then off to the restaurant for BBQ.

 Now for a nap, then off to the restaurant for BBQ.

Where you going?  There's a place called Sweetwater BBQ in Robbinsville just past Wheeler's that's top notch.  


Back on topic:  You know it's getting late in the season when there is no longer any need to switch the clear shield out for the tinted one.  

[CLAY]

Yup.  41° and dark to work...

[Breadman]

   Well, I got my wish of 20 degree temps.  Fri. morning my dash read 27 and Saturday it was 28 degrees.  WOOF!

[Max Wedge]

Well this week is looking like the Jeep is going to get the chance to be driven the majority of the week, rather than the minority.   Gonna have to do that clutch now..

 don't be dropping the transmition on your hand.

 don't be dropping the transmition on your hand.

That's a thought. I'll tell the wife that it would be safer for me to get Ural!

[jadziadax8]

47 and sunny

What a beautiful morning.

[mxvet57]

53 and partly cloudy. the wind is picking up now and the temps are supposed to drop this afternoon. the challenge for today is the ride home.

We will see, I heard 40 mph wind gusts.  But we all know the sucess rate is in the waether predictions....
