So after a long winter in Cleveland, OH I finally took the girl out on a nicer day. It was still cold as hell but much needed and definitely worth it. Anybody else out there do any winter riding?

We are supposed to be in the 40's maybe 50's next week, if that ends up happening I will get mine on the road for a little while.

Same weather down in Dayton, I would have rode if I didn't have my bike torn apart for the time being
I took mine out a lil while back when it hit high 30's. Problem with riding right now is heavily salted roads, huge potholes from plowing and ice in corners that don't get much sun. Seems like winter will never end this year in PA.

A few days ago before we got another load of snow it was in the high teens here in Canton.
I went out for a few miles until my hands went numb. Damn, I can't wait for spring.

I haven't been able to ride in a about a month, even here in SC. Today I got to ride, though! Mid sixties. Glorious.

I'm in SoCal so I've been riding all "winter" since it really doesn't exist here ;-)
Yeah, OK. You know everybody hates your guts in a good way, right?
On the other hand, I've got WATER!!!!
Sorry, jealous of not being to ride and all. 78 degrees and clear here tomorrow. I'm working. Then the next day is back down in the forties and raining. That's my day off.
It does not compare to what's going on in the Northeast and Midwest, but darn it, I'm used to riding through the winter!

We hit 40 (F) today. It was the first day above freezing in I don't know how long. I got to shovel slush. The upside was I wore my golf jacket. Even if I could get a bike out of the shed across a foot of snow, the road was still covered in ice and slush. Soon...

I actually never ride until the road is clear of ice and snow, and it has rained hard enough to wash away all the salt. I just don't want to deal with the bad corrosion that salt causes.
Having said that, I'm still one of the first ones out there on the road in Ontario, usually by some time in April. I'm not afraid of the cold at all. Got my heated grips and heated jacket. Cold--no problem!

at 27 degrees i would not be able to even get out of bed or leave my house, you guys are hearty i will give you that. Supposed to be 80 and perfect this weekend so looking for a nice long ride 
Got about 10 inches here in PA. Supposed to be single digits over night. Next week is supposed to be 40s and even 50. Spring isn't too far away. Got home from work today just in time to shovel. Fml

We had a couple of days above freezing this week here in Maine. Just enough to get snow to melt on the roads, to freeze and create skating rinks for cars... No bike out yet, thank you very much.
Last year I was able to start riding in April, so far it looks like it'll be July before I'm back on the bike...
Well maybe not July, but I'm guessing towards the end of May.
My car looks sad enough covered in horrible salt grime dirt nastiness, that I will keep my bike in until there has been enough rain to flush the roads.
Boo.
I am glad for all of you who can ride, though, go for a ride for me, too

I have my first couple rides in for the season now. Yesterday was 45 or so. A little chilly but my gear kept me warm. I rode into work this morning at 35 degrees but it is warming up to 55-60 today. Should be a great ride home.
