I wish it was like a beach!
There was a fair amount of sand as typical in spring. What was as bad was much of it was heavily frost heaved so very rough. I kind of expected it butts very surprised anyone else was as silly as me to ride it now. :)
Btw I was on 507 a couple of weeks ago. Bottom...
I went out for a little ride yesterday. iIt was +8 when I left home in the afternoon. Fun playing in the wind gusts! Temps dropped quickly in the last hour from +6 to -2. Cold hands when gassing up near home (should have left my gloves on!)
-12 on the way in to work this morning.

I added heated seat (Russel Day long) and heated grips ("Hot Grip brand) over the last year. Otherwise normal street clothes as base layer (today my regular Tilly Travel Dress socks, jeans, t-shirt and normal shirt. Over that "Warm n Safe" brand heated jacket with an Aerostich wind blocker...
It's all about gear. I'm comfy enough that down to -10 or -15 the only thing I have to think about is the possibility of snow or ice.
I did see one other bike. Not sure what it was (I think a cruiser but was quite a ways ahead. Was riding along Mount Albert sideroad west of Sharon and pulled...
Hope some of you got out today! Beautiful day! Did a little loop Port Perry, Orangeville, Blue Mountain, Wasaga Beach, Orillian back home. A bit over 400 km. Perfectly clear sky for most of it, temperature around -2. I was mainly on main roads and all were in good shape. (Was on 507 last...
Doesn't really matter unless it needed an oil change.
If it is time for an oil change the best thing you can do for the bike is go for a decent ride to get everything nicely warmed up to operating temperature (ie sitting there idling isn't the best thing to do) and change the oil when you are...
I love riding!
No need to save energy for the weekend! I have about 2,300 km of riding in 2020 so far (not including the week in Arizona this January where I rented a bike for 5 days and rode 1,900 km.)

I did about 250 km on Sunday (rode around Lake Simcoe) and about 300 km Monday (Basically rode to Campbellford and a few little side trips.) It was -3 to -5 most of the day yesterday and non-backroads were in great shape. On Sunday hwy 27 around Barrie had some sketchy spots with some drifting...
I'm off on Mondays. Went for a little ride: Sutton, Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon, Bewdley. 325 km
Roads were mainly nice and dry. Temps were 0 to +4. Cooler than Arizona. Nice to be out!

Nice ride in this morning! Heading home last night and heading in the morning is was cold enough that the bike temperature display said "lo" in the half of the ride near Port Perry. So it flips to "lo" when it gets below -10, and seeing that the display is 2°c optimistic, that would mean -13 or...
Last week I flew down to Arizona to spend some time with my daughter. While she worked I rode around on a rental bike (Yamaha Super Tenere'.) Did about 1,200 miles/ 1,900 km. Nice bike and always nice riding around Arizona!
Rode in to work today. Start late on Wednesdays so it has warmed up to...
