The Streak Extended

We've had a particularly cold winter here on the frozen tundra of central Maine. In early December I was lucky and got in a short ride which meant that I'd ridden at least one time for 59 consecutive months. Some think I'm crazy. Though I had been obsessive about the streak in the past, I decided only to push on if a genuine opportunity arose.
The cold was brutal from mid December onwards. I mean old fashioned, I walked to school barefoot, up hill both ways in the snow cold. The one exception was the January thaw but the problem was abundant water, salt and sand on the roads. Not a genuine opportunity.
The real McCoy opportunity presented itself on the final day of January. Though cloudy with temperatures in the mid-30s, the roads were clear. So I uncovered "the Bonnie", unplugged the battery tender and fired her up. The ride was only about 4 miles around Veazie which pretty much covers the town. The tanks was cold on my thighs and without the windscreen it was cold on the chest and neck. But it was a legitimate ride and the streak was extended to 60 consecutive months.
The weather on February 1 was pretty much a carbon-copy of January 31, and so was the ride!
61 consecutive months!
