Looked at all the favorite ride pics gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous :D
Woe is me :( woke up this morning to snow,it has snowed all morning and is STILL snowing.
The bike will definately be coming into the house and to add to the misery the snow isn't good enough to x-country ski
Anyone know of a job for a well experienced art teacher :) Preferably year round riding and where there is no wind!
Sorry cant help with the job thing but SNOW.......I love Snow.Quote:

at least you know what you want. good luck finding it!Quote:

60 degrees in Maine is shorts weather, at least after the winter!
Thats my point TY. He was all "YAHOO I can wear shorts all YEAR long and blah blah"...... now its like, DANG I shoulda worn jeans! When did 60 get cold???:rolleyes:
ya it is scary when 60 is cold. now 60 is a heat wave.
when i left phoenix it was 120 that day and i arrived in achorage it was 50 something. i though i was going to freeze to death!
I remember when I was in Vegas. Wow was that hot. You don't really know heat until you feel the heat of the desert. We only get 120 heat INDEXES here in GA/SC ..... Actual temp usually caps at under 105. Thank Gawd. (these are usually the most extreme cases. Average temp is a couple degrees less)

Let me know if your top ten include Little Rock or Albuquerque.

Hi eclectic!
Snow, huh? You know that I'm a native Magic City dweller and I must admit that even my blood has thinned after moving south, and my teeth do chatter when it is 60 degrees outside. In fact, I need a jacket when it is in the 70's!
That's not to say that I can't ride in these temps, just need to add a few more layers. North Dakota snow makes riding outside impossible...well, maybe you could get around on the roads with a mountain bike if the plows haven't piled the snow too high on the side of the road! ;)
Come visit anytime!

You can ride year round in Austin, Texas. Can't say there isn't some wind, but it is pretty nice year round. My thin Texas blood requires layers for our chilly, high in the 50's winters!! The hill country is great for riding, ask Lance. Want to move? :DQuote:

You should see if you can go on a 12 month international teaching exchange.
Now THAT would be fun!Quote:

Dang this is late November weather and it doesn't look like it is going to warm up anytime soon
8 years til retirement - checked out other places and the teaching salaries aren't any higher and the cost of living is so I guess I will just have to suck it up and stay :o(
I understand salaries aren't higher & cost of living diff but if you have an opportunity to veture off to another land, why not? Another idea though would be to wait until you retire and then venture off to another land.Quote:

Anywho, keep warm & cozy this winter.
