Just got back in from an afternoon scoot. So nice. Might be getting very close to the end judging by the predicted weather for next week.
Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

Turned out to be a really nice day out. Quick 300km scoot to Port Perry today to get some meat pies from the butcher (best pies we’ve found). Maybe pushing the top box weight limit a bit. 6 large meat pies, 2 roasts, 1.5L choc milk, cheese, water bottle etc.
Lots of bikes out there today which was nice to see.

November 10 2022, Last ride of season and then put the bike into storage at K-Tec in Kingston.
120 kilometers - Partialy overcast at 15 degrees with winds 20kph - 40kph
My rear shocks are set up for 40lb of luggage so ride was a bit rough.
Checked out some of the roads for the "So You Think You Can Read A Map" Challenge 2023
175 km with 50+ directional changes!
more details to follow.
Some screen shots from Google Street View of the roads I was on.

Full on sadness. Went for a friggin cold cold rip on Sunday. Decided that was it and parked/winterized it.
I thought Saturday/Sunday were both pretty decent. 4-5 degrees isn’t bad at all if you dress properly (and it’s sunny….which makes it feel warmer!).
But today and the 14 day forecast doesn’t look promising
tis the season of electric vests.....I thought Saturday/Sunday were both pretty decent. 4-5 degrees isn’t bad at all if you dress properly (and it’s sunny….which makes it feel warmer!).

Because snow never melts until the following year....
$40 on Amazon. Hard to turn that down.
Went out for all you can eat wings at hooters last night for my buddy's last night in the country. 5 degrees on the way downtown. 3 degrees on the way back home. 30 minutes there, 30 back, it was fine.
People will cry that riding season is too short in Canada, not realizing that they're the ones who set the start and stop date...

Yes.. Bike is in the garage ready to go when it does or when 5 degrees or better out.
, Well hopefully this is just a temporary spat by mother nature.??Temps aside I always park the bike once they start laying down brine and/or salt, which they did around here 2 - 3 days ago in anticipation of below freezing temps and precipitation. Yesterday we had a mix of snow and rain and I woke up earlier to a blanket of snow here in Mississauga. So Tracer will get its last clean and oil/filter change on the weekend and that's it until late March or so. I've got lots of things planned for the next 4+ months to keep me busy.
