Who's still riding? (Fall 2017 / Winter 2018 edition)
- Thread starter black_CG2
- Start date
Especially when I've been out of the game for so long.
Even if I only ride far enough to get the engine and drivetrain up to full operating temperature (my absolute minimum for even starting either of our bikes in the cold weather), it'll be glorious.
Hopefully the weather holds off for you, glad to hear you've healed enough to get out riding again.
Rode in to work this morning.
Roads were mainly fine. I had two spots with snow drifts across the road. One on 7A between Port Perry and Manchester. That was no real issue as enough traffic had gone through to make fairly clear tire tracks. The other was on 15th sideroad. I think just before Bathurst. Maybe a hundred meters of snow drift but not enough traffic to take the tire tracks to pavement. I just went steady speed though it and my (Anlas Winter) tires seems to work just fine.

Iwas hoping to of get out today, however the lack of forecasted sun in the last 48 hours has left most of the roads still wet and sloppy/briny here. :/

Scoots are good cold weather machines...lots of wind protection and low C of G.
Heated grips ...had some long rides heading south in single digits but was comfortable with all the wind protection. Several up to the Forks when snow was around tho not on the road..

Last year I was out at least once in every month. This month didn't look promising not too long ago. Well ... First ride of the season, short as it was, is in the books, and it was officially a January ride.
I opted not to do the engine-break-in ride on my zx10r. Brand new tires with the stickers still on them didn't seem like an attractive combination with cold and somewhat damp conditions.

All clear this afternoon, Tom.
You're missing out, PP. The roads between Pickering and Port Perry are clear and essentially dry, very little water.
Same here, Brian. I've ridden every month for the last couple of years.
Where are all the riders today? I've not seen a single one.

I figured as much as that was around 7:15 AM.
I'll be trying to take some back-roads home.. Webb and Wagg Roads come to mind. They sometimes drift up a bit.. you didn't happen to be on either of them today by any chance?

Not today, I stuck to the beaten path. I usually ride the dirt sideroads and concessions, but they're all a sloppy mess.
