Touring on a VStar 650 Custom: “I haven't a clue as to how my story will end. But that's all right. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you don't conclude the road has vanished. And how else could we discover the stars?" (unknown)

Positively Balmy ...
We reached body temp (37) here today ... and you know what? It didn't feel all that bad - of course not being dressed in full riding gear helped a great deal. I'm going to savor this picture when it's minus 20 next January.
What a wonderful trip and a great way for everyone to honour a friend. I've been lucky enough to do some trips west this summer. Idaho and Montana were amazing and BC never fails although I have to say I was a bit disappointed in Vancouver Island. cheers Karen!
It was a fairly short trip but in the spirit of Bob allowed me to meet up with two moto-bloggers face to face. You trip sounds fantastic, a lot of kilometers this year eh?
Once air temperature reaches body temperature, nothing works really when wearing riding gear.....I've tried. Nothing except riding into the mountains of course but that hour long period to and from....makes one hesitate.
I found a GoPro video clip from our snowmobile trip last January - six months from now we'll hopefully be breaking out the snowsuits for another trip. 96 and very, very humid here today..
Ugh! That's enough to make one long for winter...
ReplyDeleteNot quite yet Richard, but a little rain would be more than welcome right now.

ReplyDeleteOr a trip to the lake, but then standing around the lake in full gear is no fun either. Some days you have to decide not to ride.

ReplyDeleteSnow suits at minus 20 yes,snow suits at plus 37 not so good!
DeleteYou are roasty toasty. We are forecast to hit 90 by Thursday, first time since April I think.
ReplyDeleteAh that cool mountain air!
