Reached the milestone in about a year and three months. The same milestone was reached with Phoenix in half that time!!! Seems like I need to spend more time on the road…

Slightly unsuccessful hunt for a coffee shop. Headed first to Whitetail Coffee. Restoration Brewery area was a mess. There was a big festival going on. Parking was not easy. Rode to Joe Muggs coffee next. Found out they have closed. Settled for sitting down at Books a Million and catching up on some reading.

Both getting ready to enjoy the beautiful day.
He: Sit down outside and watch people.
Me: Take the motorbike out for a ride.

Which meant the sunshine had to be taken advantage of. It was a bit cold – especially with the wind though. The layers and heated gloves came to the rescue!

Ran into Avi, Rakesh and a few other motorbikers!
The winds picked up on the return journey and got a little nippy.

Cold but the sun is out.

The question is – what is the coldest temperature that I have ridden my bike in. Hit the highway at 70 mph today at 9:30am with temperatures at 38 degrees – the layering and heated gloves held up well. It was a short test ride (15 miles). The inside upper legs were getting cold since they were taking a direct hit from the wind. (I had three layers of pants on).

The heated gloves have really opened up the aperture of temperatures I can ride the motorcycle in. It was high winds and low 40s. Yet, other than the slight discomfort of so many layers making quick movement of the arms and legs difficult and some cold wind still making it thru the helmet gaps, the rides are as enjoyable as spring or fall ones!

There were scores of motorbikes out at Pop’s Coffee Shop
