This morning we had 49 deg. The moon was huge sitting a bit higher in the sky. Many star's out as well. The more I ride this 700S the bigger my smiles get as I hit the PUNCH  I love this time of year, cool morning, warm days and many smells... |

You guys are unbelievable. It's so hard for me to believe you. This morning's commute to work in the cage was a balmy 82. Forecast indefiinitely is "Blow Dryer with a chance of Sauna".  |

" You guys are unbelievable. It's so hard for me to believe you ". if i take the short way to work it's only four miles but the long way has a curvy road, well worth the extra half mile i have to ride  |

25 miles and 72 degrees with a few clouds.
Albeit through Atlanta suburban traffic, bumper to bumper with countless construction zones. Only one person tried to run over me this morning, that was refreshing.

I walked out onto the porch with my coffee to get the paper. Then walked back inside. Isn't retirement grand!  |

Very sick today, (See "What did you do today?") and I got rained on the whole way to school. So in the short version, $hitty, but I'll take a $hitty ride over a great drive any day.

My commute is ridiculously short but I ride cause I need my bike for other things during the day. It was low 70's, left early and hit the library to drop off books and the farmers market for some watermelon and assorted veggies. We are supposed to break 90 today. I think that will be the first time this summer!! It has been in the 60's every morning when I ride in and never gets out of the 70's. I am not complaining! |

I'm down in the "beach cities" so we get better temps. No need for A/C and I live in house that was originally built without central heat, cause we could live without that also. My daughter transferred to CSUN this semester so she is commuting up to the valley. It will be 108 there today. I will do my best to avoid her when she gets home tonight. |

About 22 miles in mid-60s, not a cloud in the sky. For me, just about perfect riding conditions.
It'll probably be in the low 80s on my ride home tonight, but supposed to be cooler for the rest of the week. And no rain predicted for a while.

75 degrees, 8 miles of surface streets with 17  traffic lights. Better than the stop-n-go 405 though. I live/work a little ways inland so I get warmer temps than Burgi's, although it's been a "cool" summer inland as well. Not today though. Temps in the mid-to-upper 90s for the ride home. |

Didn't get to ride to work this morning since I don't have a helmet for my son yet so I can drop him off at school on the way in but the weather was so nice today I switched to the bike at lunch and cruised the 10 miles to work in beautiful 76° weather. I'm sure it'll be a little over 80° by the time I go home but it still beats the hell out of the 90°+ weather we've had all month up till now.  Plus I'm going tonight to get that helmet for the boy so I'll be riding every day that I can from here untill it snows. |

The 27 mile ride to work tonight was not fun- rain rain rain, but I have noticed that I need to adjust my rear brake. I went to push down at the first stop, in the rain I use almost 99% rear brake, and I guess when I put the rear tire on I didnt get it just right as its a little soft. It was nice and cool though if there's a silver lining to rain and MC'ing.

ive been visiting colleges with my kid so being far away we take the bike,
i dont like to ridein the cold thats for sleds hahaha, but cold is a relative term when ya add sled hahaha,
we left and it was dark and scary looking, i figured we would show up like drowned rats,
oh dont play punchbug with your kids ever, i taught mine young and then they added a pinch if ya seen a pt cruiser,
well the people that attend college aren't really about cool cars, theyre into affordability,
ive never seen so many punchbugs and pt cruisers ever in my life, with cold muscles youd better keep your eyes peeled lol
people must of thought we were nut jobs hitting each other back and forth,
the hard part came when they walked me thru campus, ooh ahhh ooohhhahh then the occaisonal wham from her seeing a parked bug lol
dam kids are relentless
