Drove thru Sturgis past the Full Throttle Saloon this last Sunday (went back to SD for my pop's 90th B-day party) and the temp was 62 degrees.........almost couldn't believe it. T-shirt weather there in early December. I almost was wondering why I hadn't ridden the bike.

Had the grandson out this afternoon for a bike ride, we spotted a guy mowing his lawn.

(I think he was picking up leaves)

Sunday the wife and I went for a little five county run before lunch. All we needed was jeans and a sweat shirt. I think things topped out about 75 degrees. Even in the deep south that's good for December.

I like global warming, I can ride year round and in a couple more years, Birmingham will be only 35 miles from the coast. Ride the bike to the Gulf for a day of boating and be home for supper.

Sweeeeeeet

Glad to hear that You northern folks have enjoyed a late-late Indian Summer.
Hope it sticks around for a few more days!

Anyone here tracking the movement of the magnetic north pole?

Poured rain heavy with lots of wind....

Sideways rain at home. I'll be riding to Sturgis this August. While I am stuck here now, I appreciate your post. When I look out the window at the pouring rain and snow, my mind is always thinking about the ride to SD this summer.

and the great Missoula flood ride in June.

I hope there is no snow in the passes on your way home.
