Still recovering from last week's big snowfall, many Polar Bears weren't able to make it to Mignellas this week. We had another inch or so last night on top of the 18-20 inches from last week. The streets were passable but lots of road salt and puddles made it difficult in the 20-30 degree temperatures. What bikes you see in these pictures is about all that I saw in 40 minutes. Note: Last year for this ride only a couple of bikes showed up.

Most Polar Bears came in trucks or SUVs today.

Nice coating of road salt

Signing in -- many made their 30 points today and got their rockers.

Hey, another intrepid rider!

Yes, I rode this BMW in this crazy weather.

Only mascot I saw

Some more riders enjoying a good story while I shoot all the bikes I saw today in one picture.

On the way home, just two doors from my house, I spied an ancient creature.

Someone has a lot of time on their hands and an empty bottle of pink Champagne.
