COLD RIDE

Several Saturday's ago I rode for an hour in 20 degree weather. I had not ridden in almost two weeks and was getting cabin fever. I put on long underwear, my heavy Kevlar jeans, several shirts, my heavy jacket, and heated glove liners under my winter gloves. It was a great ride in the sunshine and I didn't get cold. But I did have to have hot chocolate when I got home. It seems like I am not cold while riding, but it catches up with me when I stop.

Glad that the heat has been fixed.

Any ride is a good one IMO. I am okay down to about 10 above--but that is where I draw the line these days. When riding becomes an "effort" and no longer "fun," I keep it parked. :yes::yes:

Dec.11 2013 my Mother pass away. I gave the Limo to her caretakers, I rode the funeral procession in Honor for my Mom on my Spyder in 12* weather. I was warmer than those in their cars.

I'm beginning to get soft in my dotage.... I'm thinking twice before ryding whenever it gets as hot as 40 Deg C!! Once things get that warm, the Air con on the Spyder just doesn't seem to cool anywhere near as well as it used to! :shocked:
