Going off of user1's posting regarding a trip to the Salton Sea area, it got me to thinking of my trips through the recent year.
My favorite riding season will always be the Summer.
120degree temperatures actually make me operate more efficiently IMO. While everyone cries about the temperature being too hot, I'm usually the dude pounding pavement, hot enough to fry eggs'n'bacon on.
Not to mention I don't have to dress up like a StormTrooper just to be able to wake up the next day.
Hell, last couple of weeks, it took me 10 minutes to throw on the damned, flight suit.

Cold, Cold. I forget the actual record low of Lake Placid, NY where I grew up. But today it is -10 F so, that is what I was used to, my first 20 years.

The first four years of my life, we lived in Illinois(where I was born), North Dakota, and Arizona.
My stepdad always told me that I would've been given "snow-shoveling" duty had we lived in the first two any longer than we had to.
Luckily, I was just a toddler then and didn't know cold, from hot too well.
Since I was 4, it's been 8 months of hot, comfy weather.
And 2-3 months of the most cold I'm able to bear with.
I've been in -5 degree weather though.
A short, five-mile ride near Cheyenne, WY this past March.
I nearly blacked out!!!
