Dressing Like an Astronaut

It's been a couple weeks since my last post and we've had our first snow in the interim. I don't intend to ride in snow... I've done it in the past and I just can't enjoy it. At least not on the bike. Otherwise, I rather like the stuff.

Well, it's the day after Thanksgiving and I rode the bike to Perry County today. It was about 30 when I left home, 33 when I got to New Bloomfield, 37 when I began for home and back down to 30 by the time I got home.

By basically dressing like an astronaut I am able to stay fairly comfortable at these temps. The only thing that got pretty cold was my hands. I've got a set of electric grip heaters on the way, so I think I'm good down to 30 degrees... maybe a little less. We'll see.

The full moon, hanging low over the horizon in the northeast while the sun was setting in the west watched over my homeward journey. I'm just thankful for another day on two wheels and a safe trip home.
