It's 60+ and sunny here in steamy Northern Vermont. Still got a foot of snow on my front lawn, but I am gonna go out on the ole Roketa after work. Went for another short ride last night. Gonna try for a 50 miler tonight. Trouble here is we still have a lot of salt residue on the wet shoulders of the roads, and if you run through it, it eats parts up quick. Gotta aim for the dry spots 8O . I was gonna ride it in to work this morning, but it was only 21 degrees F when I left. Brrrr....... The cool thing about Vermont this time of year is you can ride your bike, and when you get home, fire up the snowmobile and go for a ride in the back 40. Last year on my first ride of the season, I pulled into the gas station to fill'er up and was parked behind 3 snowmobiles. Would have made a sweet picture!

I rode year round in MN one winter.

Extremely careful do to the road salt and sand. I didn't ride in the snow, just when it warmed up to 40. I did ride in the snow for my riding test.

Crawled in first gear across the iced over bridge.
