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

**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!

**manban9888** · 10-14-2012, 09:24 PM

Rode some backroads w my son enroute to Best Buy to get him some video game. The weather here is getting better everyday. Moving to sunny Florida has some perks

Monkeyman · 10-15-2012, 12:12 AM

30 mph winds with gusts up to 50 mph sort of kept me out of the saddle today. More wind tomorrow (Monday) but it's supposed to be much better Tuesday and Wednesday. I guess I know where I'll be after work those 2 days. :)

**coacha** · 10-16-2012, 04:36 PM

Just got back from a trip to Ohio for my uncle's funeral, 2,024 miles round trip. A couple of 500 mile days both ways, all slab.
