    Left yesterday at 7:30 AM was cold but sunny. Meant up with a few other Road Captain members from the Chapter and we rode until mid afternoon. Warmed up to low 50's but wearing the chaps and FXRG jacket plus had the heated grips and seat on :) Was sunny all day and really nice for this time of year. Next week cold air from Canada is coming down and we won't get above freezing for three days.

    Felt really good to be back on the bike though and I did check the air pressure before riding and good thing air pressures were down 8 pounds.

    We got snow all day yesterday but I got a 139 mile PGR mission in Saturday just before this all hit. I was froze solid by the time I got home and that's with heated jacket and gloves. Face and neck mainly just pulling the heat out.

    There is a moment or two when I appreciate snow. Just a moment or two, NO MORE!
