The joys of spring riding in Canada
Greetings. I got my new bike April 1st, and rode it home....447 km. The coldest it got was -6 C with a 30km/h cross wind....About a week later it got to +20 C.
I need tools for my new ride, so I've been hitting up the used market - rode about 80 km one way to get a deal on a torx socket set (torx and allen for $25) in pouring rain. And today I picked up a torque wrench - it was snowing outside.
All I need now is a hail storm, and for it to get over +30 C and I'll have covered the weather in most parts of the world (not really hot countries) and that's a possibility in Canada. All in about 1250 km, that I've put on since I bought the bike.
Tested new warm gloves - they suck.....boots - not water proof - helmet - double visor still fogs when its really cold, but not too bad. And if you have any skin exposed when its cold like today, you know it immediately and have to pull over and adjust.
What a blast.
