Day 8... Wednesday, October 10, 2007

I was up early and packed up the bike. It was 42 degrees and windy already. I put on my long johns under my jeans and had 2 shirts, a sweatshirt and then my leather jacket. Between my first and second shirt, I pinned two hand warmer packets to try to keep warm on the ride home.

It took me four hours to get home... about 200 miles. It was cold and extremely windy but I only stopped once for gas and a quick hotdog. My hands were warm with my heavy gloves and heated grips... my back was okay until just before home when the hard warmers packets quit heating, but my feet had gotten pretty cold... hurt a little at first to walk when I got off the bike.
