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.

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...

My friend and his brother rode their sleds from Port Perry to Rhinos in Bewdly on Sunday. I went for a ride.

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.

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?
