HELP, I'M SOOOO SICK OF SNOW!!!!

[Darkknight]

OK I'm going nuts up here in CT (not too long a trip for me, LOL).
I'm thinking crazy thoughts about just taking a week off and looking for SOMEWHERE I can ride.

Sweetie has no vacation time, so I'd be alone (not excited about that).
It's snowy up here so I'd probably have to truck / trailer me and the bike to warmer weather. Even if I could ride out of here, there is no guarantee that I could complete the trip without hitting another snow storm along the way.

So here is my question... how far south or west or southwest would I need to travel to see reasonable riding weather?

Now,
acceptable temperature for me is a pretty wide range. Over 50 degrees is good, over 60 is nice, 70-80 is perfect, 80-90 is getting warm and 90+ is reduced protective gear, no leather, just sunblock and a tank top. (Of course I'd be wearing pants too! No need to visit local law enforcement motel.)

Sand and salt free roads would also be preferred.

It may be better to just fly south and rent a bike.... I just want to run away from this snow!

Of course, practicing acceptance, and patience would be the cheapest way out. Spring will get here eventually.

Jump on a plane and come to sunny Arizona. Weather has been stellar recently and riding is great and scenic. Rent a bike, ride, then fly home.

You will need to stay away from the high county as it still gets cold this time of year. I'm sure the Florida or Texas crowd may chime in as well.

I grew up in Higganum CT and lived there for 32 years, I feel for you. This winter has been like winters of my youth, lots of snow and no opportunity to ride.

Good luck solving your cabin fever.

Darkknight I hear you.Not much better in Northern NJ.I wanna ride also but I know it will come soon and everything about the 2014 riding season will be awesome.I do have
a shorehouse in south NJ and there is a hell of a lot less snow there if any at all then my northern NJ house.So you do not have to travel far if you can deal with cooler/colder temps while riding .batman-smilie.

Well we are looking at rain in the next 24 hrs. Temps will be 45-50. I'm looking at the roads as I drive home from work and there are actually many dry spots. If the rain can work a little magic, maybe I can sneak a ride in on Sunday!
Temps will drop again in the beginning of next week with more snow around mid week.:icon_doh:
I just need 3 hrs. And maybe 100 miles and I could last a couple more weeks.

But just for chuckles, I may price a flight to AZ.:shhh:

38 the last 2 days here, started snowing an hour ago, expecting 12" by tomorrow morning and then the temps take a sht for a week. Soooooooooo over winter.

If winter madness opens your wallet and you fly to AZ let me know and I can recommend ride routes. Just don't ask to borrow my F6B! Nothing personal......m'riding'

Seriously, fly to Arizona? Take the back roads thru Pa. head south thru the blue ridge mountains and you end up in Sunny Florida. Beaches, Sun and Fun.

Fla_Rider…+1…….or trailer South for 500 miles…get on the bike and go to Key West!!!!!! Send the sweetie pics!!! :stirthepot:

Well we had some more snow last night, talking 50 on Saturday, hopefully warmer next week, still haven't ridden the 6.

By the time you get out and get rolling, you'll have completely forgotten what a stock height / all OEM 6 is like!!! :icon_biggrin:

Well let me assure you you don't want to move to Florida. It was 80 and brilliant sunshine today. But we don't have any of the good stuff you north easterner's have, like a regressive state income tax, anti 2nd amendment gun laws, mob controlled unions and of course a brain-washing socialism indoctrinating school system. Oh almost forgot, mandatory helmet laws.

Ride safe.:icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin:

Heavy snow here since 10:30 this morning. No official total but looks like 10" with 4" more before it stops. At this rate it will be June before the snow is gone on the north side of buildings.
