Winter 2015- who's still riding?

Traffic 'round these parts dropped off pretty dramatically a few weeks ago... hard to tell from the "I rode today" thread who's still riding, as one would have to conclude that Gene is the only one out there most days by reading it....

Who's sticking it out and plans to continue to ride pretty much every day regardless of weather?

It was raining Thursday morning, but that afternoon it was like riding through a car wash!

It was just a *little* sorry. :-)

I was dry, but a little sweaty. Six of one...

No need to feel sorry for us! It was very warm and a wonderful ride.

Winter is Coming.

Aren't we being a little pessimistic?  ;-)

There is still plenty of great, comfortable riding weather left. I won't be putting the studded tires on until the end of November!

It was a glorious day to ride a bike, but it seemed a little fallish.  I was with Erin Rensink today at the Renegade Craft Fair where she has a booth and is selling her cycling caps.  Lots of great choices if you are ready to think about winter riding, but some nice summer caps, too.  So you can choose--summer/winter.  Just ride you bike!

Yikes! Friday forecast for steady wind just over 30 mph and gusting to over 40 mph.  That might be a bit challenging.

My studded tires just arrived yesterday. Looking forward to trying them out in a month or so!

Glad for you, but could we hold off on the snow a bit more than a month? :-)

Eh, although I said "looking forward" it's not like I actually am hoping to have to use them. I would be happy if it didn't snow at all!

Will be riding the entire year again.  Rode in shorts earlier this week.  Yeah, that lasted about a day.  Actually had to break out the warm gloves and ear covering today.  Hoping to avoid a polar vortex season like we had last year.
