Not too cold to ride Sunday though.... :goofy:

You won't catch me out Sat. or Sunday morning running 80 mph for 1.3 hrs in 17 deg. temps to make a Crawl ! :blink: NO thanks! :unsure:

Sat. high 35/low 17, Sunday high 48.

Heat or no heat, to your body, your tires will be worthless, no matter how sticky.

I like you guy's too much. The ride is not worth your health. AND I'M FRICK'N JONESING TO RIDE! LOL.

You guy's get more ride time than any of us northern clowns. Take it for what it is.

Tires stick just fine, it's all the crap they put on the roads up here makes finding traction tough...

I've Never had a Cold tire traction issue running Pilot Powers, ever and that's riding quick down into the 20's! :thumbsup:

I noticed you took a pic of the trestle at Grinder's Switch (Minnie Pearl) outside of Centerville. That field in front of it will be solid yellow with wildflowers in a few weeks if it hasn't already started blooming. Clifton always looks clean, one of the few river towns that does. I can't believe we never met on any of those roads, because I've been all over them. I think you ride more on Saturday where I've been out that way more on Sunday. Nice writeup to make them all jealous of our stomping grounds. :thumbsup:

My pics are still in the gallery from an old ride report. I'll add a couple with more green in them to make you folks even more jealous of TN in the spring. :goofy:

Judging by the bike still having OEM exhaust cans, these were likely taken in the spring of 2005.

Hey zep,

I can't believe it either as I've been riding that route/area almost every other Sunday for that last 4-5 years! :offtopic:

I bet over 25,000 of the miles on my Vtec are on those roads! That is because after years of fine tunning of the route and finding better connectors, this is the Best and most continuous nice twisty route in Middle TN. :thumbsup:

Maybe this year my friend! :beer:
