I assume your bike doesn't have ABS? I actually really don't mind cold at all but ever since my first drop in the rain after locking up the front (even though I was trying not too... just not trying hard enough I guess) I'm very wary when it comes to wet weather traction. Especially when it's cold out.I dont really mind the cold, I can ride in below freezing temperature weather comfortably. The thing that gets me is the cold. The cold only slows me down minimally since I took longer than needed breaks by about 15 minutes each just to warm up..but I didnt take any unnecessary breaks on top of that.
The boots are nice and dry today. I put them on the heater.
The temperature right now is 1 degrees but at least its not raining. It should warm up to a comfortable 15 when I get to Minneapolis. I hope to make it to South Dakota by this evening and see Mt Rushmore tomorrow. Tomorrow night, I plan to couchsurf at a fellow advrider's place. Hopefully I get there in time. Gonna get up and pack the bike now. I'll update later today if I get internet!

I get a Google Map with a bunch of points on it. Works here even at my work where the firewall likes to break things.How does this work? All I get is a grey screen with a little control box in the upper left corner. Same thing on any computer I try.
to those suggesting milk bags over the boots with elastics.. wouldn't over the socks but inside the boots be better?

Sounds like an awesome ride! Best of luck!

Milk bags over the boots PRIOR to them being wet I believe is what they mean! If they are wet, bags over the socks inside the boot would make a better idea but I think my feet would get awfully sweaty.
