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...

Nice ride in to work this morning! -7 when I left home. The roads were all brined overnight so look like they are icy but aren't. Absolutely toasty warm with my heated gloves, Jacket and Socks (from "Warm n Safe") and my heated seat and handgrips. I could ride all day in this temperature (but...

I rode in to work every day this week and will likely do the same tomorrow. Sunday looks like a good day to not ride. ..Tom
