I rode about 120 miles today, but I thought 65 degrees was pretty warm. Tim, your pipes do look amazing.

Lisa, I rode all of it on small or very small country roads. I guess it was around 2-1/2 hours of riding. I was running an errand, so there was a stop in the middle for an hour or so. Tim, on the other hand, probably did 120 miles in 45 minutes.
