Today, however, it was a bit colder than I like for riding the motorbike, plus it was snowing when I got up. So, I grabbed the Red Menace and bundled up like an Eskimo for the ride in. I was actually pretty comfortable on the way in.
My face got a bit cold, on the way home, because I didn't wear my balaclava. The temperature had warmed up, and the sun was out, so I figured I could get away without that layer.
Here is a self-portait that I took on my front porch, when I got home:
I don't know if you can make out the temperature on the thermometer, but it is reading a balmy 20 degrees above zero...which is 30 degrees warmer than when I left the house, this morning. Still cold, though, as is evidenced by the ice in my mustache.
I'll probably ride the motorbike, tomorrow, since the show is tomorrow night, and I would rather not put the physical effort out, in the cold, before the show.

Planning your bicycle outings around being a blues star, eh?
ReplyDeleteThe price of fame...
I get temp swings like that as well. Makes me hesitate in the morning but I never regret being on the bicycle for the ride home. Favorite part of my day.
ReplyDeleteChris: I like to rock, as well as roll.
ReplyDeleteWilson: I like the 45 degree mornings with 75 degree evenings a bet better, though...
Yes, "but it's a dry cold!" right? Still pretty cold.
ReplyDeleteWe've been trapped at only 20 to 30 temps - nothing higher or lower (except it did get up to 60 for about 15 minutes this past Sunday).
But not bad at all for riding.
You look a little wind-burnt, my dear chap.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, Good Lady...
