The APRS Tracker worked well until I dropped downhill to Golden
I decided to ride up North-14 to Golden today.... I've been thinking about a day ride to Madrid but that is just over 20 miles away and Golden was "only" 14 miles so to get my feet wet....... I went.
It snowed last night and part of this morning so I didn't take off due to ice and snow on the road shoulders until 2:30 PM or so this afternoon. The radar weather map didn't show much of anything, but it was a bit cloudy and cool as shown by the recorded temperatures. I removed my temperature sensor from the main circuit board inside the Argent OpenTracker Plus.... it was keeping warm inside there, not only protected from the outside air but warmed by the nearby electronics. Today's recorded temps more accurately reflect what the air temperature really was. It started out partially cloudy, then wobbled back and forth from cloudy (with even a few flakes of snow just north of Paa-Ko Golf Course, faint sunshine, and on the trip back .... cloudy windy and cold.
I was pleasantly surprised with this ride. The hills weren't that bad and the traffic was both sparse and largely considerate of the looney bike rider they encountered.
