Well, it's 22 degrees right now so it definitely feels like New Years!

Not quite so cold here in the UK so planning a short new years day ride to see my grandchildren.

Happy New year everyone.

Edit:
Lovely dry ride there. I was togged up enough to stay perfectly warm at 5 Deg C.  Forecast had been dry with risk of a brief spell of very light rain. In the event it was heavy rain all the way home which is not a bit comfortable in an open face helmet.  Rain found it's way though the seams in places too. The new years riding off to a good start then.

Happy New Year Justin and everyone in the asylum!

Had a ride with a fellow airhead early N.Y Eve in 28 deg C, stopping for a couple of early eve beers. 
Happy riding in 2018 everyone.

Gee, Bob, I'm sorta jealous!  It got up to 26F here today and we might get back above freezing mid-day on Wed!  If it wasn't for global warming things might have been really grim.  Makes me think those crazies that were predicting another ice-age in the 70s might have been on to something.

Looks like it's gonna top out at 27F today.  But, on the bright side, it's supposed to get above freezing for a little while tomorrow!  :P
