look forward to that . Yous always find the weather as well.
Worth getting up for. I'd complain it was a bit chilly, but at 47º (8ºC) I probably would get very little sympathy.

This time of year the southern part of Arizona will be chilly at night but warm up to mid 70ºs (23-24ºC) in the day. Northern Arizona is at a whole different elevation so it's winter up there with skiing and everything.
So cool how the coyotes yip and howl when they wake up. Stopped to capture some sound.
Didn't realise there was skiing in Arizon. Enjoy the winter pal.
Spikes on for winter ?.
Yeah, this winter you could have probably be ok with summer tires (really weird winter here…)but I`m old and specially for the faster riding I rely on spikes
Not much cycling here very wet an windy. Off skiing 1st February France. Forecast giving a lot of snow so visibility could be an issue for me.Yeah, this winter you could have probably be ok with summer tires (really weird winter here…)but I`m old and specially for the faster riding I rely on spikes
Too much water or you could have taken my Pacraft hahaHeavy rain, high winds and localised flooding here. Don't think I'll be getting out on my new bike for a while
Love that color! Reminds me of how we paint our military equipment for desert conditions.

18 miles on the South Downs Bridleways, and the sun even came out for a few minutes! Only took 40 minutes to get the mud off the bike, result
Yes I must admit I am not going out,or trying not to as much as before in this wet conditions. Let's see if it makes any difference to levo motor life . Plenty quiet back roads where I am and always a nice change . Rant over
Wife says she wants to do a long ride on Monday, with a bit of luck it won't rain (much) before then.
So yours truly will be spending much of late Monday afternoon cleaning TWO bikes. Oh joy
Edit: But now got Maxxis Shorty's on the front and they're really nice, on my Friday ride had same grip as the Magic Mary's but more directional (by comparison the MM's felt a little 'vague'). MM's went into recycling.

Enjoy. Got two new tyres August still not put them on. Hang on till April bike will be 1 then. Getting a service next week my mate is very good and loves pottering about. Haven't done any maintenance except a chain change. Been a dry year apart from past month.Wife says she wants to do a long ride on Monday so yours truly will be spending much of the late afternoon cleaning TWO bikes. Oh joy

Has indeed been surprisingly dry.
My bike's 4 years old with 5,000 miles and as good as new, but not quite as pretty as it was. Ditto wife's bike with 2,000 miles.
Funny my pals looks brand new as well. Not mine though

How are you drying them off after cleaning before charging? I've used a leaf blower with very limited results. Trying to keep any metal bits from starting to rust...
