Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2020 Edition)
- Thread starter PrivatePilot
- Start date
Sometimes a wind therapy fix in the winter feels good though.
Riding around Uxbridge and Port Perry this afternoon, about 120km. Glorious sunshine, about 5°C most of the way, never uncomfortable. Surprisingly, I didn't see any other bikes. Some melt water running across the roads, can't be avoided. I hosed the bike off when I got home. 
Was tempted...but so much briny meltwater at every turn around here today...

Your bike won’t suffer from a brine bath, just spray her down with a garden hose if you get coated.
I was busy today, got itchy for a ride it it didn’t happen. If it doesn’t piss rain Sunday, then I’ll loop Simcoe.

Since I got my new KTM, I'm worried about saltwater corrosion. Never worried about that with my old Honda, but it didn't take much salt to make a mess out of the polished aluminum. Might as well have dumped acid on it. So, I guess I'm now one of the fair weather faeries until my KTM gets beat up enough (about two years).
That right there is why I didn't go out.
If the roads had have been dry....hell yeah I'd have been out there.
Two minutes with the garden hose is all it takes.
Indeed, but turning on my garden hose in the basement this time of year only to turn it off and drain everything again, ugh…

Finally back on 2 wheels, managed to get out for a quick run this afternoon! First run, and first wave!
For those in the "around the house thread" This shot doesn't do it justice, but I passed by this really cool home ice rink. From what I could see the ice was perfectly flat and in good shape.

Next weeeeek if morning commute is not too cold ???
Yesterday was a nice day riding in. Was fooled by the weather reports this am.
Weather spoke of flurries around the GTA heavy in some spots, and "Weather Network's" radar made it look heavy. At -7 that could have lead to ice on the road so I drove. Ultimately the roads were a bit wet in a couple of spots but it would have been a nice ride.
