Are you still riding
As the riding season in our area starts to wind down I thought it would be fun to keep account of who is still riding and keep this going to see who gets the last ride in. I was out Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Both days were cool, but gorgeous sun and fall foliage. Mileage each day was approx. 350 kms.

Good piece of riding.
I'm riding to work and back daily. Mornings are cool, but afternoons are awesome. |

October is the best of the best riding months here into the second or third week of November. I typically ride all year but find it pretty uncomfortable from July thru September. The humidity along with mid to upper 90's mid to late summer are pretty unbearable.

Ive been riding to work almost everyday since March, weve only had to bring the truck in about two or three times since then. I ride in the rain unless its really coming down hard. I'll ride until the salt trucks come out here, last night it was 34f on the trip home.

Mornings are cool here but if you dress right it isn't a problem. I will ride all through November and even some days in January and February. By mid March I should be able to get some riding in and then April will start riding season again.

I haven't had a chance to ride much the past couple of weeks, work seems to screw things up... As long as the white crap isn't on the ground (or december 15th, date where snow tires are manditory on all vehicules here in la Belle Province) I'll try and ride.

I'll see if I can still get in a couple more weeks at least. I'll have to put my new car tire on since theres nothing left of the old one. I was hoping to get the season out of the old tires but I think Ive pushed them far enough.
