I'll have to side with ya Jonathan. I don't do as much pleasure riding as in South Carolina, BUT I am trying to make up for it by using it as much as possible for trips to the store, riding to work, and "necessary" trips where taking the car eats through my gas. NOW, having said that, I always try to at least take the long way to the store, just not as long as it used to be. Just hope the weather holds so I can make the most of it.
