Warm!!

I'm not wining about it being too cold, I'm wining about 4ft of snow covering everything and probably not melting off the trails till May!! DamN!

Yesterday I went for spin it was about 17*f (-8*c). I just had to try out the new fork valves and carb jetting. Froze my hands after about 20 minutes of going around the block.

Just another month or two.

LOL!...same here in west Texas. I was riding and camping Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in 65-75 degree weather. I rode the mountainbike and KLX in 3 beautiful days of weather. Today it's 22F, but it's back up to the 60's this weekend. That's Texas weather.

Well, if you're feeling too hot you could come up here to Colorado and cool off a bit. Current temp -5F (-20C). Tonight it's supposed to get down to -22F (-30C).

I wasn't planning on trying, but I'm guessing it might be a wee bit difficult to get the KLX started this morning.

Yeah, I'm in Ft Worth and we have about 1-3 inches of snow on the ground.

Man, it's freezing here in California... daytime high today is only 52 degrees, brrr...


I can relate to the snow problem, though. The good riding in the EDNF is between 4000 - 7000 feet, and the roads up there are partially obstructed by snowdrifts as late as May or June after a good winter.
