Snow almost gone!

If temps stay like this... Sunday I may get the bikes out (Bicycles.... Motorcycle needs a battery!)

I prefer the morning temps at least 40 degrees for my commute. I can pack lighter for the ride home. But I am ready! We still have a chance for one more snow or so, we never know.

Yeah, well I just had to turn the A/C on today, but it's beautiful to ride after midnight. No snow though......
I used to live in Wisconsin so I get it.

Today it was mid 40's, but got out for another ride on re-built Peugeot... So far, only a minor rear brake adjust... Very pleased!!! If time permits tomorrow I'll bring out wife's Gitane and see how that re-build faired!
