It snowed here again yesterday. No chance for me to ride. And with snow comes sand and salt that will be on the road for another 30 days, so even if the weather is fine, you can't turn or you end up on your ass. I'm sure it's nice at Folly Beach, but maybe asking questions is all some kid in Michiga...
