Oh, its rained before you rode. That is good. For me I won't ride if there is salt all over the rode. In the spring I usually wait till there has been a couple good rains to rinse the roads off.

Yea I made the mistake of riding as soon as the roads cleared before. What a fucking mess and all that salt on your bike can't be good!

I got in a mere 50 miles or so, and it was only 30'ish - what a wuss I am. Still a great way to roll in the New Year!
