    Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

    I rode in to work today. -6⁰c when I left home. Roads from Port Perry to Vaughan were fine. Any icy spots were visible far in advance it you aren't tailgating. Not doe everyone but I enjoyed the ride and am looking forward to my ride home. ..Tom

    Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

    I couldn't ride Sunday as I was picking up my daughter at the airport and spending a bit of time with her. Today's weather radar on the apps said afternoon snow but none appeared so I went for alittle ride today. Not much, maybe about 150 km but it was nice to get out since my last riding was...

    Always nice when we can rationalize something we are going to do anyway! :) I saw another bike today. A large cruiser (I think a Harley) heading north on HWY 45 north of Cobourg/ I'm now at about 2,500 km this year so far. Any riding this time of year is a bonus! ..Tom

    POLL: Cold weather riding...

    Used to be -18⁰c was the lowest I would ride but as I get older it probably a bit higher, maybe closer to -10. But temperature isn't really my major concern. It's ice and snow on the road (or the risk of it) that is the main deciding factor for me. ..Ton

    I got out for a little "round the block". Mainly just main roads. Rode from Port Perry, Peterborough, Madoc, Belleville, Cobourg, Port Hope then up to CR9 south of Rice Lake and worked my way home. Did about 350 km. ..Tom

    I haven't been able to ride as much as I hoped this month but today managed to get my first 1,000 km in (total riding for 2024 that is.) I also got my first ride in 2023 with freezing rain/mist. The weather had said nothing about this before I set out other than Rain or flurries overnight. I...

    That tends to happen when people jump into a conversation and add something that really is off topic leaving readers unable to understand how that relates to the thread. ..Tom

    I don't really understand what you are saying. I have never seen them brine dirt roads and don't really see Harleys on dirt roads that often. What has dust got to do with brining roads? ..Tom
