Last Long Ride of 2012
Several days ago the high temperature reached 60 degrees Fahrenheit, so I took my last long ride of 2012.
I knew the snow was heading my way; it arrived today. :( I'll be riding around town this winter when the temperature is above freezing, and the roads are clear and dry. However, I won't be taking any more long rides until spring arrives next year. Spud

Love the pics Spud, the BRP looks right at home there .
Every fall I think to myself "where did the summer go so fast?" :( |

The BRP is looking excellent, Brother Spud.
Don't be surprised if you get blessed with another couple random semi-good days before the bottom drops out.

Thanks for the pics, Spud. I'll bet that the temp wasn't 60 at the top of the mountain.

Indeed, it was colder and more windy at the summit. However, my Tusk heated grips made the entire ride more comfortable, especially at the higher elevations.

Spud that's a beautiful mountain behind the honda. Sorry to hear that cold is approaching fast. But you might get few days of nice weather as FastDoc mentioned.
