Well the weather has turned chilly here in Maine. We’ve had a heavy frost a couple of mornings. Saturday it was predicted to be the warmest day for the weekend. A friend organized one last ride before putting the bikes up and getting the snowmobiles out for winter. It was cloudy first thing and only 53 degrees at my house. I layered up and got my electric gear out. I had the jacket last year, but bought gloves in the spring that I hadn’t tried out yet. Somewhere in my packing and moving I have miss placed my controls for the jacket. I’ve looked high and low and can’t find it anywhere. One bad design with the jacket is it doesn’t have any pockets, so when I take the control off it doesn’t stay with the jacket hence why it’s missing…. Anyhow, without the controls I only have one temperature – low. I was fine all day, so I think mid 40’s I will be fine too. That’s if I can’t find the control before I leave. I think my gloves are going to work great and keep my fingers warm. Last year that was one thing that got cold first.
We took Route 27 to Wiscasset and then took Route 1 to Bath. We went down to Popham Beach to the fort. This is one of my favorite places to go and walk the beach. I usually go a couple times during the riding season, but hadn’t made it this year. It was nice listening to the waves, there weren’t many people there which was nice too!
After we road over to Freeport then through to Pownal into New Gloucester where we stopped for lunch. Where we had a later lunch we headed towards home after, knowing it gets cooler later in the afternoon now. I got home about 3:30 and we put on about 140 miles. Great day, and the foliage was still nice.
Love and Light to you all!
