Jimbo, you're just an old softie  ;) ;), I for one am fully prepared to stay in bed, have a nice warm breakfast at home  :laugh:, and read the Sunday paper.  This weather is getting to be really old, but at least we have not had the ordeals that the south has endured the last few days.  See you all on the next go round.  Saw Cliff and Cindy at Jimmy's yesterday and found another advantage of Star membership, your friends will treat you to dinner :o :o.  Thanks Cliff, I owe you :-*.

Yes this weather is really getting old, the way its going the top mile rider will probably only have 1000 miles up this year, even with the Can Am which I thought I was going to ride today because of the weather it still would have been ugly. Hope we can all ride soon

I agree with Gordo, staying home reading the paper and having a good breakfast is much more appealing than going on a ride today.  I went out to get my paper this morning and I was pelted by ice pellets.  Oh well, like they say, next time. 

I did clean my Raider yesterday while the sun was out briefly and got it looking pretty good.  I'll keep it clean for the next ride.  And......... there will be a next ride.  Don't give up on this riding season just yet.  It is frustrating, but we did manage to get together with friends at J&J's yesterday.  That was worth it.

I woke up this morning and my back was out pretty bad, I could hardly stand up.  My wife said I guess you're not going on the ride.  I showered anyway and got dressed.  My back felt better and I was desperate to ride since I'm stuck in Creston, IA every week.  So, I decided to scramble at the last minute and make the ride.  Didn't look at the web site.  It was 30 degrees when I left the house and light snow flurries on the way to the SA.

Well, I made my own ride and stayed out for an hour or so.  Man, it feels good to ride, even in the cold.  Desperation drives a person to do things like that.  Funny thing, though, I didn't run into a single other rider on the road, not even Eagle Bob.  Bob, did you get out today?

I was really looking forward to riding to day. If this weather doesn't get better soon I am going to turn into a basket case I need some riding therapy!

I thought what the heck it was too cold to ride so I went to car show and swap meet at the fair grounds. What the heck is going on with this weather. I damn near froze and I was wearing a carhart and stocking hat. So muck for Dan Q's global warming. :angry: :angry: :angry:
