Terry, All day, everyday. I ain't complaining but I might consider hooking up an aux port for a heated vest and gloves for me during the ride. The ocean is beautiful but windy this time of year and I want to be happy when I get off the bike and gaze into the ocean and my wife's eyes knowing I made her day perfect.
We're eating at the same restaurant (https://www.thedeadfish.com/makeareservation.html) and table I proposed to her at 9 years ago, made that reservation 3 months ago.
I took the day off work. The fact we have to ride through traffic coming home means I'll be splitting lanes for 10 mile stretches at a time. That last 90 miles home has about 50 miles of dead stop traffic, usually takes us about 2 hours on the bike, in the truck it would be more like 4 hours or more.
We've both been through hell the last few years health wise and neither of us is fully recovered so this 300 mile winter ride is a gamble at best.
But like I said, she's worth it.
Have a great Valentines day... I'll do the same.
