20 degrees this morning, but by the time we got home from running errands, it was 3:00 and 61*, so I got to go out for a short (20 miles) ride around the neighborhood before the temps dropped like a rock.

This is me coming back up the driveway. Yes, I know my windshield is way too high, just haven't had time to cut it down yet.

No lickety split for me! I let her warm up in the driveway for 3 or 4 minuets and then took a nice ride. Going to get some warmer gloves and a balaclava in the morning.

That was a joke of coarse. I ride pretty easy in cold weather because the engine may not reach optimum temp. But I could be wrong. Gauntlet gloves are a must.

Yea, the gloves are old and they SUCKED. I bought some new ones at a local bike shop 10 minutes into the ride........

Ended up having the perfect clothes combo and a real nice ride even though it was in the low 40's.
