I did about 75 miles today before church. 38* the whole way but the heated grips and bun warmer worked well. I DO need some full gloves. The back of my hands and thumbs got a little chilly.

Isn't it great? Rode about 150 miles round trip up to Cedar Key for dinner.

Only had time for a quick 50 mile run. Too many deer out at night for my tastes. The ABS saved my bacon already tonight. Low 50s with rain moving in later today (and t storms tomorrow so no riding again until Thursday :( ). Fingerless, perforated gloves meant the grip heaters were on low but no bun warmer needed. Ah....the joys of 2 wheels.

Fingerless gloves are almost useless...Just saying. They didn't work well for this guy:

Monkeyman · 09-25-2012, 05:09 PM

I think most of that blood is from his face. (The vid comments said his face was cut up pretty bad.) Glad I got ABS on mine. Any glove is better than no glove but full gloves are the best. I'm on the lookout for a pair now for winter. Over the winter, I'll look for a lighter pair for summer.

Did a 87 mile ride in the Poconos it was in the upper 40s* Past peak for the leaves

cactusjack · 10-12-2012, 03:38 PM

Not today, but I rode 3,058 miles in the past week.

**Cajunrider** · 10-13-2012, 10:15 PM

Rode from home to Middendorf's Restaurant for lunch in Pass Manchac. Continued up US-51 to Pontchatoula and the HD dealership in Hammond. Continued on LA-22 west to French Settlement for a visit with my oldest son and his family. Left at 5 pm and rode home. Beautiful day for riding. Rolled up 180 miles.

**ringadingh** · 10-13-2012, 11:19 PM

I rode from home to the sw part of Toronto today to look at a car for my daughter. I got lucky and pulled into the garage about a minute before the rain started. It was about a 70 mile round trip at 40F.

napom · 10-14-2012, 09:01 PM

I rode 362 miles with my son today to go meet some friends for lunch - started cold (40) but warmed up nicely - great day, great ride!
