We have been having highs near 10-15 degrees and strong winds for a few days. The snow is currently off the roads but it is just too darn cold. This week has been brutally cold.
I feel your pain, we're getting 20cm (8-ish inch) of snow (with some rain mixed in the middle) today, and then another delivery of snow on Sunday. I'm unlikely to wake the bikes from their basement naps until mid-April.
Dang that's a long time to go without riding.
I really admire your determination and tenacity to ride in the cold.
This is after it had been snowing for about 3 hours. It was taken 7 hours ago and the storm is still in progress. We had no snow down until mid-day today.
My worst nightmare lol
One year my wife and I were riding thru Lake Placid New York on our way to Maine and we stopped and looked at the 90 meter Ski jump there that they used in the Olympics.. I asked my wife if she could imagine going to the top of that, putting two skinny slick boards on the bottom of your feet and then shoving off? Skiing? I'll stick to motorcycling lol. Seems safer.
Ski jumping is a bit radical, although I have never tried it and likely won’t (BTW, I have been on the top of that ski jump at Lake Placid while on a motorcycle trip). General alpine snow skiing and motorcycling have similarities. People who don’t engage in or understand the sport often write it off as “too dangerous“. Like motorcycling, the better training you have and the more skilled skier you become, the less the chance of injury. I figure I have as much chance of getting hurt on the wintry drive to the resort as I do actually skiing.
