MIGHT go for a ride around Frederick this afternoon. Let's say 1:00PM.
Friend gave me a route that starts and ends in Urbana, MD. Goes towards Catoctin State Park and back. I think it's over 100 miles but I might do 50 and call it a day.
Shoot me a text at 3017887168 if interested.

Gonna throw on my heated grips this week. Think it's time to get a dual sport too. ...
Nice. A Versys 650 is my all weather bike, love it.
I've had heated grips for it since i bought the bike, but haven't gotten around to installing them in 2 years... Its not even that hard. Can't wait til i get motivated to do it, as ice cold fingers suck on a long ride.

I'm considering the DR350.
You're right it's pretty easy to install just been lazy these days. Even with winter gloves my hands do get a little cold.

A DR350 with some knobbies would be great on those snowy days...
Same here, winter gloves work for a while, but eventually your fingers just freeze. I think part of it is that holding the grips limits blood circulation. At steady speeds on the highway i try to keep my fingers straight to try to help blood flow. (Think it helps...)

That makes sense. FWIW winter gloves are still an excellent purchase. I'll try that out prior to installing my grips.

Rockville is a stone's throw away. I'll aim to post a day or two in advance next time.

This. Even with summer gloves they do a pretty good job.
