The riders on here don't need no stinking heated gear or insulated riding suit they don't ride in the winter.

Pink bunny tattoos for them all:

I'm leaving around 1:00. My route has changed a little. You can follow me here (I hope): http://share.findmespot.com/shared/face ... jE7BvI9uVB

I'm in Cuba, MO at a motor court along old route 66. The place is 75 years old but refurbished a few years ago.





You get a lot of strange looks when riding in 26 degree weather.

Living large in Grafton, iL.

Getting here took two river ferries.



I am now in the bald eagle area and saw one this afternoon. According to locals not as many yet because of warm weather up north.

I have a great day of riding ahead of me tomorrow!!

The bald eagle count is down because of the warm weather. I saw only 6. In the past I would see 100's.

Today started cold around 28 but warmed quickly to high of 48 and sunny. It was a beautiful day. That does not mean the roads are all cleared of snow. They got a lot more here KC. Now the snow has packed to ice and you don't want to use front break on ice.

I'm back in KC. Until today the weather was less then ideal however, it was a good, trip.

I had some cold morning but it warmed to at least 40 each day but Friday (never over 30).

There was much more snow east of us making for some interesting riding.



Anyone that has ridden with me know I like history and search it out while riding. Here is grave of Toussaint Charbonneau, husband of Sacagawea, the guide on the Lewis and Clark expedition; their child Jean Baptiste was a graduate of Saint Louis University.



Normal frosty morning.



The snow was OK. The packed snow and ice was tough. If I gave my bike much gas the back end would slide out and don't consider using the front break.



My tracks.



Snow like that and I would have a little attractions however any any moment it can be ice so slow and steady was the way I got through it.

The ride was to see bald eagles. As mentioned the eagles are not as plentiful as in the past however I did see a few and got some pictures.



Maybe a few of you can grow a pair and join me next year.
