38°F is that awkward age....

Right there is where I have trouble deciding number of layers..?....balaclava? ....over-pants?
Battery gloves for sure!
Looking forward to mesh jacket sunrise mornings😊

In my experience, over layer.  It's easier to strip off than layer up mid-ride.

Stig when I can get by with a mesh jacket is when I will ride early of a morning.  We are just now starting to get to warm weather 75F for highs this week. Mornings are still cool around 50F.

I never have that problem, Stig. If'n it ain't 60°F, I ain't ridin'! Har, har!

That's close to my cut off temperature as well.  The cut off temperature for the Romeo riders is 50 degrees, below that the ride is postponed.

One thing I like about Ohio is the open vistas.
I visited Seattle 3 times - and really disliked it ....to the extent that I mentioned each visit how I disliked being closed in by the forests.

(well, once I stopped there for 3 days of yelling, marching, hurry up & waiting and floor waxing on my way to Vietnam - so that spoiled things)

I skipped the balaclava and overpants ---- but NOT the battery gloves

Stig if you like open Vistas,  have I got some back roads for you.  I like to have lunch in a town 14 miles away, I can see the grain elevator from the highway  blocks from my house.   Now I like lakes and trees with some nice curved roads as well, variety is the spice of life.

Under 40 degrees F....and you are planning on riding a long time---Riding suit and feather jacket/liner under, hands soon get cold without proper gloves mitts.  Boots that keep feet warm nice, too---proper windshield helps comfort.

Yes, KANSAS....you guys win the  V I S T A  Award.
Dino gives me all the variety I need.....at 6:45AM today it was ....I forget. But he rotates through maybe a doz. beans.

Then my daughter and I came back for breakfast burritos* from the UnderDog and drinks from Dinos.
I walked in without a helmet, and said, "A medium please - but, and this is embarrassing..."
Dino said, "what does she want today, Major Tom?" (no helmet means I'm in town with the family)

"A Caramel Snow-Storm"

"Ooooh!", and he laughed.



If you order a side of the Dog's hot sauce* with your burrito.....be careful with it.

Stig did (Miguel) sp? Mexican food restaurant survive the covid?  We have a abundance of new food trucks in town with a wide variety of foods. Most have very good food.  Japanese food by a Asian couple,  Mexican food by a Mexican family,  BBQ by a Caucasian family and a few others I haven't tried yet.  To be honest I never thought I would eat at a roach coach but all are inspected by the board of health in our town.

Yeah, he survived - by moving in to the old Williams Eatery (great pancakes on a winter's day!) which is now TrailTown Brewing.
Since we haven't eaten indoors in a year ('cept at home) we've no idea how it's going in there.
It was a heck of a lot more fun to buy from his truck and sit street-side - people-watching



If they ever bring back our furniture - maybe we can do take out from his new place.

We got as street-side as possible this morning. A little nippy but the breakfast burrito's hot sauce kept us warm!

That food looks mouth-watering Tom.  Lucky you.
