Default Approx how much more time for your riding season?

Here I typically will continue to ride during the winter months, we tend to have days in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb that are nice and warm enough to get out for extended periods. Last winter there was not a week that I recall not getting out for at least a short blast on the bike.

Yup, I'll usually keep the bike parked for a while after a snow, you never know where they put sand down. Generally I ride all year round.

I ride each bike at least once a week year round

RARELY does it get below freezing for more than 5 days in a row

Hard to say. I definitely won't ride after the first snow flies. I don't want the salt on my bike. Today could have very well been my last ride, then again, maybe not...I hope not.

I'd say we have until about next February with some intermittent weather scattered here and there surrounded by 85degree days.
