About 55 here this weekend, Jerry.

Terry, who says we stand it. We just live with it. It's called torture. Why do think I want to move down there?

[ccr]

Not to get too personal, but do you ride without underwear often?

Hoist, the ideal thing IMO is winter home even farther south and summer home up your way where it is just great in the warmer months.

How do the mountains of Western NC sound for year round instead ULTRA? I ain't Rockerfeller y'know. It would be nice to have two homes. Living in NYC, I'm lucky to have one. But the one I do have will now allow me to retire anywhere I want to except here or CA. I just love the area around the Smokey's and Blue Ridge. I recall reading somewhere about a place called Maggie Valley. Anyone ever heard of it? 8-)

BTW, I do ride year round here. Underware (for you Candy) until freezing temps and then chaps also. No snow or ice though (unless I'm caught in it). So I could deal with a little colder winters. Fl is too hot and humid. Hey, that's an idea. A poll to locate the perfect retirement location. I feel a new thread coming on.

Yup, but it was a tad cold there as I recall.

We may never achieve it, but our dream would be to have a house in the mountains - NC/VA/WV/TN and a home in FL.

I'm w/ a lotta y'all w/ the western Carolinas, Tenn., Va. mountains. Too bad most are helmet law states. I get a thrill every time I visit. But, I'm still blown away by our trip out west a couple of years ago. Southwestern Colorado was stunning and warm. That's now in our mix for retirement.

I love it out there too, but isn't SW Co cold and snowy in winter. Not as bad as northern, but they still get "real" winter. I've never been there in winter. Also, my problem with that whole area is where it's warm in winter, it's way too hot in the summer. Az was on the list too. Don't know if I can handle the summer heat in the SW. If I'm wrong, please let me know. We're racking our brains to find the perfect spot. Not too hot or humid in summer, not too cold in winter (a little snow's OK, as long as it's gone the next day). I've been to just about every state in my travels, but my trips are usually spring,summer or fall. Not in a big city, but maybe near a small one. Gorgeous views everywhere. Great roads a must! Could be land locked. Don't need the oceans (can't ride in them). Anyone know where this place is?

I said I wasn't starting a new thread, but I got sucked into asking here. Why not.

I'm right there w/ ya. Year and 1/2 'til I'm done working and then looking for about the same place you describe. Good luck to us both.
