    Interesting ride in this AM

    Been riding to/from work for a couple weeks now. Some of the mornings have been pretty chilly, but no big deal.

    Today was weird, though... about 28/29 degrees when I rolled out. Not really sunny, but pretty bright. I come up over a hill and bang! REALLY dense fog. As soon as I hit it it froze on everything... Bike, gear, and yep... visor. within about 15 seconds I couldn't see shit. Visor goes up and the glasses underneath get soaked too... they freeze. Pull over and sort it out... spent the next 20 minutes rolling through some pretty dense stuff, trying to scrape the ice off of my visor and praying the car behind me could see my tail lights.

    I was thinking, though... As soon as I got out of it I passed a guy on a full dresser with a biiiiiig windscreen. I was wondering what the hell he was gonna do when the fog hit that and froze. At least I could flip my visor up... He must have been blind.

    Foggy out but nothing sticking to the shield just the inside moisture. That's easy to remedy.

    I was wondering how the ride in for the guys on bikes was going to be this morning.

    Wasn't bad, I had to crack my visor coming through Merrimack and again once I hit the Hudson bridge. No fog thankfully although some of the side roads in Goffstown were glazed over in the lower elevations.
