Default 34 degrees of seperation...

Doesn't sound like much but damn...you can't put on enough layers to stay warm. We're surrounded by lakes and rivers and when that north wind blows in across the ice...you hear knocking noises tween your legs that ain't all engine...

Please tell me I'm not the only one watching and praying for the thermometer to rise this morning...

How high is it going to have to climb for you to swing a leg?

35 degrees and snow today here in northern Illinois. No riding.

I wear a textile coat and overpants. They're warmer, more comfortable than leather and waterproof.

It will be in the 40s, maybe even low 50s here today. That is very nice for this time of year and I will be out riding either way. This is a strange spring, We have had good warm weather sooner than we usually do and now there is snow and cold south of us.

Ain't that the truth.
Unfortunately it has been nice during the week (in the high 50's) while I been working and cool each weekend.
Still watching the thermometer...hit 35 a few minutes ago!
I'm going for a ride no matter what.
