Bad324 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I came home to a mysteriously placed 12 pack of Thirsty Dog Christmas Ale in my fridge and I can't drink tonight so thankfully this is a later start on Saturday because tomorrow night is pretty much guaranteed I will black out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 yea I've been meaning to pick up some UnderArmour cold gear so I'm using this ride as my excuse to do it finally. So gonna stop after work and pick some up! If I don't get any UA my usual course of action is:*Balaclava/ninja mask thing that keeps my head super warm*Cold weather gloves*Undershirt, Long sleeve T and Sweatshirt under my spring fall textile coat*Flannel pants under my riding jeansSince I have the tail bag, I'd much rather layer up too much early and if I get warm just take off a layer and put it in the bag than be cold and miserable all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Ah I am using the same set up, plus some hand Warner packets inside my glove, will see how much it helps today evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 just got back home after riding around for about 1.5 hrs in 43 degrees, bundled up pretty good, so it was pretty warm, still the hands take a toll hopefully tomorrow at 50+ its gonna be much much better, heck if i can do this i bet any one can... so if somebody is having second thoughts...dont worry.. just come out layering pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 well as of now I'm still in. Bike is all checked out and ready to go and got all the neccesary cold gear out so unless I wake up feeling like hell I'm planning on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleaveTheGreat Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Ugh I wish I still lived up there. That's one of my favorite routes - nice roads and not too far south. If it wouldn't take me 2 1/2 hours to get to Bolivar I'd be down. Have fun and try to stay warm fuckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 i always wished there were some routes up north, but unfortunately none. hope we meet in some other ride cleave, like may be the dream big group ride 2012 siacono and mike.. no reply yet i guess they got cold feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 the possibility that he read this is minimal since he is busy with family towards weekend. I was hoping he'd be able to help me finish the oil change we started If he can't, there's no reason for me to ride to YT first... It'd make more sense for me to leave later and just meet at the larger stop, at the DQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imprez55 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I try to keep the vent near my mouth open and open my visor at each stop and I usually don't have any trouble with fogging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
