Road stop side in CT |
It was a beautiful day, sunny and cool in the low fifties. Admittedly it got bit chilly on the long ride up the highway. And by chilly, I mean there was snow on the ground up north and my seat had frost on it when I finished a break. The trip took nearly seven hours and I ran out of daylight. Mostly the extra time was due to the inevitable traffic around NYC, but also for multiple breaks to warm up. I had dressed warm, lots of layers, but even my "big winter" gloves just couldn't keep my hands warm enough this trip. Next year I'll plan better - or just get heated hand grips.
How fortuitous that my friend Ann had a big bonfire going at my ride's end!
Warm! |
