It's a balmy 30 degrees F as I type this. There is frost all over my yard. I want to go for a ride today. :P
How 'bout everybody else?
(let's see if this version of TOB thread turns out to be an equal monstrosity)
It`s a sunny 29 dgrees C here and yes did go for a ride, ( on client`s bike shhh don`t say anything )
Warming is perspective. I was transporting a bus, had my window open enjoying the nice fall air... When my ride (my fiancée) picked me up, she had the windows up, heater on and plopping down in the seat was like plopping down into the Sahara at noon ~

well Monday I rode to work and it was a freakin nut shattering 19F. Thank god for heated gloves. The rest of the week
has been nice, sunny, and in the low 30s to mid 40s. Ah fall in the Pac Northwest.
this like 70 right now in NYC. really really perfect for a ride except it takes too damn long to get out of here. and i cant find any open roads to test out mah nu RB3!!!!
80 degrees Fahrenheit here, blue sunny skies and I'm ill and can't go anywhere. >:(

The Sun, observed on May 22, 2008. With the Sun persisting in a near-minimal state of activity, only a few small regions of some activity are seen on the disk. The cell-like appearance is formed by the multitude of small clusters of magnetic flux that are collected in the downflow regions of the supergranular network of convective motions. (NASA/TRACE) #

Translation: global warming is taking the year off because the sun doesn't feel like playing "nice." Don't worry, it'll be back next year.
It's going to be 85 degrees F today. I think I'll ride before lunch b/c when it gets hotter, I'll have to revert back to my summer jacket. It's just another beautiful day in Northern California. [moto]
Its a nice 50 something here in the Paciffic NW with clear skys so far today, and I dislocated my kneecap two days ago and won't be riding for at least a week. Looks like i get to miss the last few good days of riding this fall. Soon it will be nothing but winter gear and rainstorms for me for about five monthes.
The Doc
Here in the mountains of Central Arizona, we had a hard freeze down into the low 20s a week ago that killed off the last remnants of the summer garden (though the kale & collards are still doing great, much to our 13 year old's disgust) and may have done fatal damage to the fig tree I was hoping to baby through the winter. :(
Now, it's a beautiful 78 degrees and I'm just back from a spin on the ST2 around the Skull Valley/White Spar loop -- 55 miles of fast sweepers, tight-twisty canyon & stunning vistas everywhere you look. Kinda takes some of the sting out of the fig tree debacle... [thumbsup]
91 in town today
