[Ducati] A ride...to winter blues!

[Alec Moss]

To me, 60-65 degrees is perfect.  It's pretty easy to stay warm, and
overheating in your gear is not a problem when you stop.  Sixty degrees on a
clear sunny day is awesome.  Sixty degrees in damp air is not quite as
comfortable, but usually feels fine.  I no longer ride on 30 degree days as
I did when young and stoopid.

Tomorrow, no shopping, so I'll take the long way to work.  It's normally ten
miles, but there's a 50 mile loop and a 100 miler to choose from.


Cheers,

Alec
