Chilly ride

The weather has been usually cool here in Louisiana for September. Should be in the 70s for lows and the mid 80s and humid for highs. BUT the past couple of days have been gorgeous! This morning it was 58 degrees, so trying to save on gas, decided to ride the motorcycle in to work. 

I’ve discovered that no matter how warm you dress, cold air is going to find its was into your jacket, boots, and up the pants leg. Even though it is only a 13-mile ride to the college, I spent the first few minutes trying to warm up the hands….what will it be like when it is really cold?

Also noticed things that you normally don’t when behind the wheel, listening to the radio, not really paying attention and just pointing the car. On a motorcycle, the elements are all around you…I noticed for the first time that the sun was rising behind me and was a huge orange fireball, while a full moon greeted me in the front. Passed by a few restaurants and could smell breakfast cooking….you know how good bacon and eggs smells when you are hungry?! I only have some chocolate pop tarts to look forward to (They are my daily staple).

Oh well, hopefully this great weather will continue for a few more days! Looking forward to the ride home!
