Category: Out Riding

It was freakin’ heck of cold riding this morning. Most of my commute was in the range of 32-34 degrees.

Some areas near Ione California dipped below 30 degrees around 28-29 mark. That’s freakin’ cold even with a heated liner running full blast.

My heated gloves went out last season and I have not replaced or look into repairing it myself. That’s going to be a priority to hang with the cold ass weather.

Marking the date I went down on the Goldwing.

Blistering riding weather all week. When it gets this hot there is no comfort from the wind movement. In fact, it’s like you’re riding inside of a giant air fryer. The heat is so intense your sweat is drying faster than you can hydrate which means you can seriously get into trouble on a long ride.

T. emperature measurement taken at Keifer Road, Rancho Cordova. During the remaining ride home I hit temperature of 114. This was just before you get into the town of Ione.

I try to prepare myself the best I can before hitting the road. This included drinking a lot of water and eating ice chips.

Buena Vista Saloon and Grocery Store stop on my way home from work.

Stopped by our favorite Armenian restaurant that happens to be on my way home from work.

I’ve seen many rainbows and thought this one was good as any for a photo.

If you look closely you’re able to see that there are actually two rainbows. One is faintly seen to the right.

I got another flat on the Goldwing. The puncture came from an object that appeared to be a part of a nail.
