Looks like winter has finally arrived. It’s been cold but the ground has been snowless until now.
Weather forecasts have sent me to Expedia looking for a warm place to hangout.
Looking forward to warmer weather and drier roads.
Cheers

My personal vote for this pic is to move it to “The Roads I’d like to Ride” thread.

I highly agree, that road looks like it needed to be ridden.

That's right...Already have the feeling that is a bit abused;I ride a lot off/non roads/remote areas.There are two ways to go in these terrains,with this crappy suspension;tractor mode-slow & steady,and drifting;that's hapening a lot when there is snow or mud,or have to do some steep hill climbing.This time dirt is solidly frozen,so drifting can bite chunks out from the rear tire.

The planet is definitely up.
There is a 100 year weather event almost weekly.
On the plus side I haven’t had to crank up the snowblower yet. And that’s another 100 year weather event.

Stay warm.
Cheers

temperature Saturday morning -17* (feels like -34*).
