So Who Rode in Today?

When i lived in Vallejo and worked in San Rafael I commuted every day on a moto, rain or shine....because Hwy 37.
Now I work from home much of the time, but when I do go in, it's less than 10 minutes from me. It literally takes me longer to pull the bike out and get my gear on than it does to just drive to work.
Good problem to have.

When I lived in Healdsburg and worked in Santa Rosa I commuted moto every day, rain or shine...because 2 lanes 101 south.
Now I have a 10 mile commute I can blast in 15 minutes via three freeways, or the back way surface streets at 25 minutes. Bummed I missed the rain this week and the chance to try out the stich pants I bought from a barfer. Best way to clean your ride. Come to think of it I have no water proof boots.
 
I rode in today and was reminded that wind plus tar snakes equals fun in my lane 🤪
 
I rode yesterday, between sprinkles. The ground was wet and I was afraid to lean too far. I had to carry too much into work today.
 
I'm spoiled by my four day work week.
I might bring my coffee out to the garage, sit on it and make vroom-vroom noises.

Aerostitch'd into the office a little bit damp.

I love my Aerostich. There was enough rain coming down that traffic was going below the limit but I arrived dry. Also love my heated grips and seat :laughing

Dry, alert, energized and ready to work.
Riding in is way better than coffee.

Still enjoy that first cup of coffee once I get into the office, but it is more for the hot liquid rather than the caffeine

Rode in today, I should be getting some new tires in the next week or so...
 
:ride Taking advantage of a break in the rain, I rode in as well. Recently I picked up a thermal undershirt and it's excellent insulation. Next is cold weather gloves for my poor chilly fingers
 
Rode in today. No more riding in the rain until I get a new two-piece, my a* is really old and even after multiple treatments of NikWax.

If the weather holds this weekend, I'll give the bike a quick wash/detail before I put on the Hippo Hands.
 
i've been riding every day since getting new tires :ride

it's cold. my zip up fleece works good in combo with the aerostich one piece and heated seat/grips on max! believe i saw 39f on the ride in. lots of fog. thanks to confire for being on scene early in the am getting the fallen trees out of my way :teeth

:coffee:
 
God Damned IT! I am going to have to have surgery next year on my wrist for a Carpel Tunnel issue. I just made a goal to ride all 365 days next year : |

I have seen 42 and amazingly it's been such pleasant, toasty rides in.

I "liked" the intention to ride 365 and the pleasant, toasty ride comments.

I do not like to hear that you have to have surgery next year! I am on the computer all day everyday; the idea of carpel tunnel scares me :wow
 
Base layers, mid layers, insulating layer, and my Aerostich onesie and these gloves:
Hestra Fall Line gloves are the best. And I'm good down to the 30°F-ish range.

Still riding in, we have light fog here in the Central Valley but it's nothing like the Tule Fog we used to get here ten years ago. But I haven't seen the sun in like two weeks so there's that :ROFLMAO:

My gloves are my weak point for sure, currently wearing non insulated ropers that end at the wrist.

Shoutout to our guys Jolo and Christopher who ride in daily from Pittsburg and Oakley. These guys are hardcore.

I commuted from Vallejo to San Rafael for many years. I did it all on 2 wheels, rain, frost or shine.
Doing Hwy 37 on a moto is the only way to go.
Your guys upped the degree of difficulty by adding an unsavory stretch of Hwy 4 (redundant?).
I honestly didn't mind the ride. As I mentioned in another thread, arriving to work energized by a motorcycle ride simply fueled my productivity.
I sure don't envy your guys tho. .....especially when I'm perched on an easy 5 minute commute.
