Default Topless Running!!

We've had really crappy weather here in Central Ohio since before Thanksgiving......Snow...Cold....Rain... .Slush....

However, the global warming gods smiled upon us today!

57 degrees and sunny...(at least for now. Rain coming )

So I stowed the top....took the hour and a half route to the office as opposed to the 12 minute direct flight. Absolutely Awsome!!!

I was however the only idiot out there with the top down. I did not see another vette but passed several imported convertibles with their tops up....wusses.

Perhaps if the rain dosent get here I'll get to run her home topless too!!!

Your title made me look! Sounds like a great way to round out the year. Weather here in Southern Maryland isn't bad yet but showers are on the way. I didn't take the top off (not a vert), but my ride home will be a bit longer too! Enjoy it!

I came back to Michigan from Bowling Green, KY yesterday but was driving my truck. I saw several bikers out and about but no verts with the top down. My outside temp read 49 F.

It was a very nice day in southern Ohio too. I did drive my car back to it's heated garage this morning before going to work. I did have the window down once, if that counts. It's now raining and the wind is blowing.

I guess we go from one extreme to the other here:

If I lived in warmer climate I'd never have it on except in rain, however, here in Ohio a chance to run without it in December shouldnt be missed.
