First (short) ride of the year
29 degrees, but sunny, so my ride was only about a hour long. Wore boots, jeans and coveralls, jacket, face mask, helmet w/flip down visor, and Widder electric gloves. The coveralls were not quite enough, allowed air to get to my calves, jacket and mask did ok. The gloves were great, a little bulky and time consuming to hook up. Next cold ride, I will put on long johns or chaps on under the coveralls and a vest. The SB seems to like cold weather, ran great and less engine noise. Only saw one other rider but a lot of cagers with "Look at stupid" expressions on their faces.

It was cold here today, too, but not that cold. I won't ride if it's below 45, and I think it was about 47 when I headed out for a 60 mile ride.
It's supposed to be in the upper 50s here on Saturday and I'm looking forward to that.

Oh, Gary come on man.... not below 45? I went out 3 weeks ago on a 2 hour ride, and it was 44.... no heated gear either.
just ribbin' ya man. If I had my druthers, I'd be riding at 60+...
... just jealous that I can't ride....

We did our annual Polar Bear run yesterday Jan1 here in Mid-MO. 34 degrees when we left the shop, a little brisk but great fun. The group does get a few odd looks rolling through smaller towns when it's that chilly.
