That will be like a heat wave for me. It will be in the 40's or low 50's when I leave the house.

Lucky you have engine guard chaps and heated gear you should be nice and toasty.

**HwyRider** · 09-18-2014, 07:43 PM

In the 50's it's still to hot for heated gear. Just dress warm.

Silent Sam · 09-19-2014, 12:34 PM

...Man Oh Man..I remember when I was ten ft tall and bullet proof... But Now !..Below 60(f) is to cold to go...and above 85(f) is to hot to go ! ...Enjoy your ride's !

**HwyRider** · 09-19-2014, 01:46 PM

Plenty of heat. Dual controllers for my heated vest, socks, pants, and gloves. Wrap the face and I'm good to go. I've done 36 without heated gear a couple of years ago and it was a little chilly on the highway.

**BigRed** · 09-19-2014, 02:26 PM

What? No heated underpants?

**HwyRider** · 09-19-2014, 02:52 PM

Yep. Heated pants. They are like long johns.

**HwyRider** · 09-19-2014, 07:13 PM

Just went out to gas up wearing sweats and a lite jacket. It's 55 outside right now. I think in the morning I'll need the chaps, heated vest, and heated gloves.

ctrider · 09-19-2014, 07:51 PM

I wouldnt doubt it, it's chillyyyy. I just put on my hand deflectors just in case. Next week almost 80 and sunny here for the weekend another indian summer continues.

**HwyRider** · 09-19-2014, 08:02 PM

So you have your Village People chaps out for tomorrow?

Do you know what that ice cream place is called?

ctrider · 09-19-2014, 08:20 PM

Soco Creamery... I don't own any engine guard chaps or chaps for my pants. I'm not sure I have the butt for those. I do own LL Bean fleece lined jeans. Chaps would be easier to take on off. This is a hard time of the year like spring. cold in the am and warming up into the afternoon. I'll carry a few things with me though. I wouldnt mind electric gloves though.

**HwyRider** · 09-19-2014, 08:55 PM

I think he means the one that we're meeting you at.

ctrider · 09-19-2014, 09:23 PM

I don't know the name but the town is very small as you hit the rotary your going straight across. it's like right there on the left after the rotary. Just pull off any where there and I'll find you or I'll see you coming if I'm there first.

ctrider · 09-20-2014, 07:21 PM

Made it home with no bambi encounters. Another nice ride even though we never found soco's ice cream. I looked at google maps and seems we that stand we pulled into might of been one of them. The other one was in town never saw it though. Oh well maybe one day we will make it back there. No real pics to post either all riding this time. Last ride for Martin before his surgery. Good luck my friend I'll map out the VT ride for your recovery ride on the Oct 12th.
