Eddie has heated jacket and gloves. I only have heated grips. I own a heated vest, but did not bring it. Stupid. I wear a Fieldsheer suit that is very effective in keeping me warm and dry. My toes were very cold Fri night. Picked up toe warmers at Walmart, so that problem solved. My finger tips are occasionally cold, but nothing too bad. Biggest issue on this ride has been the crazy thick fog. We came to see eagles and we can't even see the Mississippi River.bonanzasteve wrote:Wow, I can't imagine riding at that temperature at any fast speed!! You guys must be wearing heated clothing I assume?
Eddie had the wisdom to abandon our river town destinations--fog just too thick. We did see a few of them So we hit the hills instead. Great roads out here! We did a lot of slippery gravel today. Lost Creek Road had probably 15 creek crossings and no bridges. At some we had to hop off a solid ice shelf, ride through water, then hop back up ice on other side! Pick a straight line and hit it! The road had several places where it was completely iced over. Oh, and we did the whole thing in the dark!
Had a good dinner in Hermann, MO and a nice B&B to stay at. Tomorrow is gonna be another great day to ride.
