My brother is riding to Houston at around 9 this morning. I told him I would escort him for the first 100 miles. So, time to get up, warm up and fill up for a chilly ride.  cooldude

If he wraps those whiskers around his neck, he'll have a natural dickie to keep the wind from funneling down his jacket!
What was the air temperature down there? cooldude

I escorted him to Houston then rode back. A total of 7 hrs. It was 39 when we left. Got into the mid 50’s in the middle and 52 when I got home. With the right gear I didn’t even notice the temp. With his inadequate gear I had to make sure he didn’t get hypothermia. I offered him a cold weather suit but he’s too cool cool for school. So he froze his nads off.

Good ride.
