depends on the winters 101... Most weeks you're in the single digits... Late Jan early Feb you'll have weeks in the Neg single digits... I had three weeks one winter where we didn't see above 0... with one of those weeks having a high of -10 and a low of -15.

My parents live in Fargo (for god knows what reason) and they were, 90% of the time, colder than I was in Anchorage.

Yeah, you're right. Riding weather practically year round makes up for the lack of proper season changes.

Yes, but it's still Texas. It's amazing how proud of that shit you guys are, I've been to Texas. It sucks ass. Everyone hates Texas, except Texans. You guys are like shitville football fans, delusional as shit.

I ride practically year round in East Tenn and we got bad ass riding around here.

you could probably ride year round if you wanted to.
