Went home for lunch....couldn't stand it...had to... So I rode the bike back to work. I'll be taking "The Long Way Home"....should be able to stretch 60 miles easily. The "call" was too loud for too long It's a heat wave...I think it's up to 35, but no snow and no ice.
Went for a short ride yesterday when the temp climbed to 41. Even with long johns, flannel-lined jeans and new heavier gloves I was shaking like a leaf after less than 20 miles. May look at getting that detachable wind shield I dreamed about last night.

I heard that................LOL!
I rode out to the Salt-Lick and back around to 150 and back home yesterday .............. brrr!
Yes indeed.............key word-------------Heater!
The temp Saturday morning was 15, that was around 07:00am.
It may not sound all that cold to someone north of the Red River, but I ain't built for that kind of cold chit!
Rode today..... Looks like Thursday & Friday might have bad weather coming our way.
+1
So how many of ya'll really didn't believe the weather man about how cold for how long ???? besides me ??? and didn't bother to insulate outdoor/exsposed pipes and or valves.. I only had one valve freeze hard enough to brake it. Normally I am the first to run out and prep for a freeze. But I have gotten tired of prepping for nothing.... but this turned out to be something... I was very lucky !

sure beats my weekly therapy sessions!
Best therapy sessions are on 2 wheels.
Paul this was the only time I prepped for the cold weather in the last 18 years. Had 3 days that was a hard freeze. No problems...
