I did about 700 km today basically north of Hwy 7 around headed east to Perth. Only got a bit of drizzle when I went down around Kingston area then headed home.

Useless fact: When a solid turns directly to vapor it is called "subliminating"
I was out later in the day for a few hours when the two inches of snow we received sublimated.

Easy to make sanitize if you have 99% alcohol and aloe Vera. (Plus some lemon oil). Basically is a bit less than 30 % aloe and the rest alcohol plus a dab of lemon juice for that nice smell.
I have some travel bottles (for shampoo. Conditioner, etc.) that I got from Sail. Reason I...
I went out for a bit this aft (about 200 km.) I was watching the storms on the radar display on my gps and dodged several of them. Never got more than a little drizzle on me. There was one wicked looking storm heading my way near Lindsay. I wouldn't have been surprised if it had turned into a...
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.)
