Went for a little loop ride over by Goddard Youth Camp after work, saw a 6 degree temp drop in that 125 mile ride....Should be around freezing in the AM
JUST? Your confidence is inspiring Ecca.Rode up to Summercourt for training, then visited all the hospitals in West Cornwall to complete my Blood Bike induction course. Just got to pass the Advanced Motorcyclist institute test before starting blood deliveries etc. Rode about 100 miles today.

I tried some HotHands Toe Warmers riding back today, but don't think they did much... they weren't even warm when I pulled my boots off 6 hours after activating them.
Warm & Safe has some electric socks that work good for me. Just don't wear them too tight on your feet (like heavy over socks could cause).
I experienced thundersnow in Toronto during a business visit one October, while wandering around downtown in the evening, and found it quite bizarre as the big fluffy flakes fell, accompanied by rumbling thunder. I blamed the event on the high humidity of being beside the Great Lakes. I didn't know you could get such a thing on the relatively dry eastern slopes of the Rockies.Went for a short ride and got caught in unforecast hail, turning to snow (with accompanying thundersnow). Temp went from 50 F to 32 F before we could get back home. Ahh, the joys of living at the base of the Rocky Mountains!
In the 12 years I have lived here, I've experienced it about 3 times. The mountains create a lot of vertical development under the right conditions. We have lots of severe thunderstorms in the summer months because of that vertical lift.I experienced thundersnow in Toronto during a business visit one October, while wandering around downtown in the evening, and found it quite bizarre as the big fluffy flakes fell, accompanied by rumbling thunder.

While I am grateful to live where I do, and enjoyed the privilege to take a nice ride yesterday as I did, I am also mindful of so many of you and others that have been struggling through one bad weather system after another. My thoughts and prayers are for each that were impacted by the strong storms yesterday and last night, and for those who continue to persevere through a brutal winter season. Blessings to each of you!I took a nice 150 mile ride this afternoon with partly cloudy skies and temps reaching 79! It was my first chance to ride with the RDL saddle, Rackman Highway Wings, and the MCL Fork Brace I recently upgraded to from RockyHayes. As Dick Vitale would say, "IT WAS AWESOME, BABY!!!"
