Default RE: long winter ride

i worry too about the ice and rain. if there's ice befor i go than i will have to drive it instead. if it's on the way back then i'll be staying a little longer from home. the rain is what i fear most. rain and 40's just makes for a long miserable trip.

the week of my trip is when the drought will finally be busted. figures!

my hands and feet are what i'm worried about keeping warm and dry.

thanks for all the help.
