Today's 12-mile one-way track via APRS/GPS
My radio/gps tracker seemed to be sending a bit too many positions, so I took the unit out of the bike's seat to re-configure the beacon settings. As a result, it worked NOT AT ALL for the trip back to the car this evening: I had turned the radio off so it wouldn't damage itself transmitting without an antenna while reprogramming the computerized beacon, and forgot to turn it back on when I put it back on the bike. Sigh. BAH
The weather was fairly cold, again, but still beautiful for riding. There was a storm forecast for yesterday and this morning but it failed to materialize so no snow or ice was encountered. Friday and today I rode a bit farther than I have been recently: About 12 miles instead of 7-ish, and it turns out my feet get TOO NUMB riding that far in these temperatures. I will begin wearing 2 pairs of socks henceforth until the weather warms up maybe another 10 degrees. Last winter I was wearing 2 sets of socks and had forgotten. Nothing like painful numb cold feet to help your memory bank.....
