1st RTE of 2025

  Yep, just as I said. It was a bit chilly to start about 40. New place we gathered for breakfast. It was good but pretty busy so the service was slow. They just need to get up to speed. After breakfast the temps rose to 48-52 so I rode back towards Jeff's house then back home. Nice morning to ride Renegade.   Good group of us and Ron brought his lovely wife Telene. Fun Fun!

Thats to COLD for me to be riding anymore....

I love riding, but not in those temperatures. I guess maybe if I had heated gear? And a full face heated helmet.  Glad y'all had a safe and enjoyable time. I'll catch you in a few months.

Glad you got a ride in.
Since we moved to South Carolina I've ridden a lot more. Found a group of retirees that RTE twice a week. Love it.......but it's getting cold up here now. No heated gear here although most of those guys have the gloves, jacket, pants and grips. For the first time in many many years I may only ride a few minutes in the afternoons after it warms up a bit.
The last ride was 42 at the start and 41 at 1:00 after lunch with the 1 hour ride back home.

Yes it was too cold to ride TJ it was 36 when I left home! You're right. I got there a couple minutes early and after shut down I just stayed on the bike with my hands (with the glove liners on) on the valve covers until they thawed out a little. You think they hurt while they are cold. Wait until they start thawing. lol
