they're about to start right about now. looking doomy-gloomy out thereIt's beautiful out! I wanted to ride today but I finish at 9pm tonight, it'll be thunderstorms by then
Was out all day today until just before the showers started. Good timing. Beautiful riding - almost certainly the last day that we'll have that's in the high 30's with the humidex - glad I was able to enjoy it on 2 wheels.

It was HOT today. It's rare that I don' wear a MC jacket -- today I offed my jacket because the heat was on. riding thru TO on my FJR gave me four bars -- enough to BBQ chicken wings on my motor.
Nippy enough to switch to the fall gloves and some neck warmth but okay with warmer layers and textile jacket.
Very nice at the Forks in the sun and lots of bikes out tho bit more bundled up riders.
Hands were a bit chilly ..maybe time to put the Barkbusters on or switch to the heated glove liners
Nicely warmer tomorrow and whole week looks good

Did a nice 550KM adventure with some friends today. Went out to Bon Echo, up to Bancroft, and then back down and around.
Was pretty nipply at 8AM when we rolled out and it was 4c. Thankfully we both have the heated vests we bought in the group buy here some time back - just keeping your core body temperature up makes a massive difference in your extremities. Our $20 heated grips kept the fingers comfy along with good gloves.
My wife put her rain gear on for the last bit home....back down below 10 again which after a long day riding in the cool temps up north felt damned chilly again.
Will probably be the last time my wife's bike leaves the garage this year.
Myself, business as normal.

I got 250km yesterday morning as well. Started at 6:30 am, heated grips were on high. Lots of layering was needed. Most impressed with my alpinestar drystar pants which kept me warm all morning.
Trials
Well-known member
The trial was brutal hard partly because it rained right at start time, 29 riders
scores were high lots of crashes,
but it did get easier as the day went on and we started finding ways to get around the impossible parts.
I won first in Grand Veteran class with 84 points lost yaaa... that's a lot of 5's and 3's :| but I had a lot of cleans too.
Apparently we set the D and B lines up a little too hard.
Jordan Szoke took first today with 66 points,
Jon English 76, Brian Wojnaroski 122, Kevin Cordy 124
Jake Stapleton rode the Advanced line with 77 faults
