Rode 175 miles on Saturday...gorgeous day down here! Rode over to Deland again and then North up to Crescent City and to 3 Bananas restaurant for lunch....Way cool place on the water and bike friendly. Took more tiny little back roads over to JP Cycles and looked around. Didn't buy a single thing although I did try on some boots while there. Had an adult beverage at Saints and Sinners next door. More back roads that paralleled I-95 South down to Cabbage Patch (didn't stop) and 44 then back home looking at the remains of a great Sunset! Temp dropped but I had a jacket and warm gloves with me. Nice day!

Old dog you wont stop till the snow stays. I only put on about 40 miles today was warmer here than where you are and no wind but a heavy mist started and got the road wet enouph to get bike really dirty once more. Sent you a e-mail an hour ago.

250 miles temp was 65/52 F
Tried the gloves Lar. They will be OK if above 50F but below that am going to need the electric liners inside them. Hands didn't get cold but were pretty cool at the 52 mark.

try silk liners under them, I was good to mid 40*

after we ate at about 1:00 PM Elaine didn't even put her gloves back on. It was 60* at the time. But she has heated grips.
