Stig I rode to Lindsborg and back Wednesday and Thursday for lunch (pictures on what are doing this winter thread) courtesy of Iahawk. It was around 50F and the only part of me that got chilled was my face from wearing a open face helmet during the 35 mile round trip. I can't imagine riding any distance in 20F temperatures. How many miles round trip are your morning coffee runs on average?
Well, my coffee shop is due south of me - but I start out by heading straight north for a couple of miles, past my in-laws house.
I wind back through town @20mins later, then head south and out into the boonies for my favorite part of the ride.
Wood smoke, cows, farms, Brian the Cow, 'One-Sheep One-Cow' farm, the B & B, the downhill scary bit, my kid's old high school, late brother's house......into the village past "We buy dead stock" Joe's house and the mural of the late youngster whom my daughter and I befriended.
As the squirrel flies it is right at 20 miles to my destination.
As the LIKE200i flies it is just under 34 miles, one way.
I leave home at 5:30AM and pull in across the street from Dino's just before he opens at 6:45AM.
The ride is an hour
+ each way. But must add in time on the road-side taking pix, scratching, blowing my nose, etc.
I'm easily distracted.....
I am outside for the duration of the outing - save the few I'm in Dino's with the Liar's Bunch - which totals @ 3 & 3/4 hours.
And, yes - i am usually thoroughly chilled by the time I get home....
but I never regret the ride!
I spent many days and hours out of doors during my 30 years with the state. Leaving for work at 5:30AM. So I am used to a frozen face - just need to keep my hands, chest and head warm.
My route is
entirely determined by the state of the pavement (a habit quickly learned due to the new LIKE's typically poor scooter suspension) ,
and the posted speed.
