Started the bike today when I got home from work. Took a while since the float bowls were empty but once the fuel flowed she fired right up.
I actually looked out at the rain and was thinking "that doesn't look so bad, I could take a spin"... but I didn't.
Sat on her while she was idling and my mind immediately went to BC3 (Creston to Salmo) . *Sigh*

Temps I'm facing in the next few days will be about -25 before the windchill gets factored in...
What I wouldn't give for it to be July already!

-25... yikes! I was born there but I couldn't take that anymore. Living in BC has made my such a woose. I was thinking today "hmmm... we've just gone through a week of above freezing temps. Let's skip February and get on with in then." My bikes are however, still parked in heated storage... a testament to the season we're in.

Normally I can handle most of it by avoiding going outside...sadly my left knee reminds me every time that the temp just tanked. Can barely walk!
Word of advice, do not break your leg at the knee joint...it never fully goes away!

Ouch! When is the earth's axis gonna tip so we 'North of 49ers' end up with California type weather? 'Cause if that doesn't happen soon... I'm outta here from Oct-Mar. I'm 60 and enough is enough.

You can go to Mexico, but you can't come to the US???  Something is not right with the world.

Don't take it personally, Brent. We're an extremist kind of people up here. Extreme temps hi and low, extreme beer consumption, extreme riding, extreme beauty (yup, that's me!) extreme skiing, climbing, hiking and horse ranching (not sure if that's true but you must admit, it does add to the mix). Mediocre Oregon weather just doesn't cut it for us this time of the year.
