Siberian Winter

From Motorcycle Adventures

It has been the coldest winter in my memory. First winter since I started riding where I wasn't able to ride during the whole month of January. To make it worse, we haven't had much in the way of real snow, a few inches here and there, but no glorious biblical dumps like Boston or Buffalo to really have fun with my snowblower. Just enough to keep the roads perpetually icy.

Finally as of today we had enough days in a row of sun to clear the roads of ice, and with the balmy 20F degree day I got a chance to hit the roads before February ends. My first ride of the year, although shorter than I would have liked, was glorious indeed.

If next winter is like this again, I might have to invest in a snow cycle (aka snowmobile) to make it through these trying times.
