big mike Posted February 9, 2009 #1 Posted February 9, 2009 Well I got up the guts to ride to work today. Left my house at 4:00am at 25 degrees F. The wind was calm and I was wearing my chaps, coat and hooded sweatshirt. Since I wear a half helmet my face started to get cold from my nose to my chin. But it wasn't unbareable so long as I put my glove over my face every now and again. But the ride home was great, in the 40's. Tomorrow it is supposed to get into the 50's so i'm planning to ride again. I bought a face cover to help keep my face warm for tomorrows ride in. I figure as long as the roads aren't snow or ice covered I'll ride. What the heck snowmobilers do it all winter.....why can't I. Just for the sake of all you who think i'm nuts....so did my wife!!!! At least i'm not parked outside of a psyciatrists office. My bike and I have been couped up too long.... YEEEEEE-HAAAAAA let the good times roll!!!!! Big Mike
