Post by: Carbon_Dude on December 02, 2016, 05:38:23 PM: It was nice here in North Georgia today, I wanted to get out for a ride but the day got away from me. I will be riding tomorrow (high of 59 deg) but that will probably be the last ride I get for a while. Wife and I are going down to the Caribbean for a week.
