Some of us have different ideas what makes ideal riding temps

I'd say 39F would be much more comfortable than 39C but both would make just fine riding.

Unfortunately here it is 20F and snowing
So the bike sits.

The truck wash was grabbed. We're on farm animals now... which I conveniently forgot about on my barn tour on Monday.

Hah...bought my RTW bike today. Haven't been tagging but put the D606's to a little bit of a mud test. OK. I knew the bike would perform, just wanted to play a bit.

If the farm animals aren't grabbed tomorrow by early evening I'll go out and get a picture perfect picture of the sunset over a particular farm with particularly cool farm animals (that is if it isn't too cloudy). If it's cloudy I'll just get some cool farm animals and move the tag along.

Summer in a big city here - nice for riding but we're a bit short on farm animals.

New Tag is a view from a lookout.

This is the lookout. I just randomly found it.

But it's the view I want not the sign.

I have no idea how I got out of that in one piece. Guess my time hadn't come yet.
Looking back at things, I certainly should be at least dead.
But well, I was lucky - so life goes on!
Only drawback is that my financial situation does not allow me to get another bike. I fear it will not be possible in the nearer future, maybe not even in 2012.
This is really really tough. I have been riding since I was 18, never took more than some weeks break. I really really miss riding.

But one fine day I'll be back and tagging!
In the meantime I enjoy your pictures and stories.
Happy 2012!
